A Train Journey

Going   Going  Going  Gone,

The train goes down the track,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack,

Long like a centipede, wide like an elephant,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack.

Look out the window, everything’s a blur,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack,

Rooms are squashed, filled with everyone,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack.

Try to get a nap, not much chance,

People chatting everywhere,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack,

Listen to the food trolley squeezing down the corridor, squeaking like a mouse,

It’s owner shouting out,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack.

Sorry To be gone, excited to be going,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack,

Bored on your bunk with a numb bum and cramped legs,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack,

At times painfully jostled at others rocked like a baby,

Clickety Clack, Clickety Clack.

Eyes heavy, under the covers, fall asleep,

Tomorrows another day and Place,

Clickety Clack
