From London's suburbs it's off to work
Gridlock traffic drives you beserk
Trains and autobahn old and slow
There's an alternative way to go
Let's make a journey on the Croydon Tramlink
The future's plastic, the future's electric
It's like riding in a giant Scalextric
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Quiet, efficient and safe and green
Ride the future a town planner's dream
Trees and concrete, let's go to town
Visit the shops that were not burnt down
Wondering where all the money's gone?
Make two journeys and pay for one
Providing they're within 70 minutes on a prepaid Oystercard
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
From Elmers End to Merton Park, past Phipps Bridge
At Wandle Park IKEA, get a pink fridge
Let's go from Sandilands to Addington Village
It's so exciting there might be a spillage
Let's go from Wimbledon to Beckenham Junction
While we debate if we're in Surrey or London
See Civic gems like the Croydon Clock Tower
And the BRIT School which gave the world Dane Bowers
Travel in style to fabulous places
Watch out for the occasional racist
Every journey an adventure, and so
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
From London's suburbs it's off to work
Gridlock traffic drives you beserk
Trains and autobahn old and slow

It's like riding in a giant Scalextric

And it's fun, fun, fun

Hurry up, you're not packed
Get your money, get your bags
We'll never make it to North Wales
Where all the lasting things are grey
Past Rugby, Coventry, Shrewsbury, Oswestry
The town we really want to see
Is shortened to Llanfair PG
Llanfair PG
Llanfair PG
Let's go to
Llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-chwurn-drob-
ooll-
llantus-ilio-gogo-goch
On the way up we check the route, we check the plans
Past Birmingham
And Dudley
You ask if we are astray, but no way
I know these roads like the back of my hand
Did you bring a flask?
I am the king of the M1
Hang about we're not lost
And who's driving anyway?
It's not Torbay
Like Doctor Who you should have gone before you came
But all the same we'll find a Little Chef and then we can check where we should be
For Llanfair PG
Llanfair PG
Llanfair PG
Let's go to Llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-chwurn-drob-
ooll-
llantus-ilio-gogo-goch
ooll-
Llanfair PG

Boom-Bang-A-Brexit!

It was a beautiful day but I wanted more
And a man said "Let me take you for a ride!
Step this way for my mystery tour!"
And he led me to a bus with words on the side
It had something to do with how my money was spent
"Ach! Vandals again! I didn't write that!
Ignore it! That isn't what I meant!"
He seemed a trustworthy sort so I sat
He said "Take a seat!
Is the future too scary?
Does the world make you wary?
We'll help you escape it!
Boom-bang-a-Brexit!"
So I'm waiting to move and he said "hold tight
There's a magical land and it's called 'the past'
But this bus will only steer to the right
So we may not get there especially fast"
Now, I was chatting to some folks, we were getting along
But the driver wrapped them up in a Union Jack
And he pulled it away and Boom! they were gone
"There's no room for them here - they were holding us back"
I started to worry - I thought what if
This bus is really heading off a cliff?
But then I heard cackling and I saw the driver
Running off with a beer and a bag full of fivers
Maybe the wrong choice but let's see it through
It was a bus-full of people and now it's just me
The wheels are stuck in a rut, but that's Britain for you
The past’s going nowhere and neither are we
So take a seat!
The world is scary, can you take it?
We'll help you escape it!
(Although we might fake it)
Boom-bang-a-Brexit
Even if the bus wrecks it
We'll pretend we can make it
It's not our fault if we miss it
We could half-bake it
Would you risk it for a biscuit?
Boom-bang-a-Brexit

Frau Callaghan, ze people of Edinburgh dream of electric sheep, because zay still, have NO TRAM!
Vot Fräulein Hypnotique! Ve must take Arthur's Seat, stick it up the Holyrood and construct zis tram tonight, but how vould it be?
Let's go from Princes Street to Edinburgh Gateway
Balgreen to Gyle Centre have you been there lately?
Wave as we pass Ingliston Park and Ride
No need for cars, by tram we can glide
It's the newest kind of public transport
Just 30 minutes from Haymarket to the airport
Take a flight to Frankfurt or Lanzarote
Or the sunny East Midlands, it's not grotty
Ministers, get the tram project back on track
Or let's take the 100 bus and give us our money back
Every journey an adventure, and so
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
Let's got from Shandwick Place, it's ace
to Gogarburn, it's fun
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Edinburgh tram, tram, tram
Edinburgh Tram!

People crammed in 4, 3, 2, 1 zones
Beats are pumping through iPod headphones
Check that hot guy in the suit, give him a look
He thinks you’re mental, so he reads his book
Trains are running in the wrong direction
Got a feelin’ it’s a mixed up sign
I can see it on page 6 of Metro
Over the shoulder of the sexy guy
So crushed the crowd is pushing me higher
My arse is being felt from down below
Pickpockets have pinched my new phone
It’s a sound I know
We’re down with the underground
We’re so getting hip to the deep shaft sound
To Cockfosters let’s go
Piccadilly Palare to Arsenal
Out on the District line
Be the victim of a petty crime
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground
Last tube southbound on a Friday night
People screaming, singing, starting fights
Pissed up wankers board at Leicester Square
Wave your knickers like you just don’t care
Party girls singing One Direction
Got a feelin’ they’re on mixed up wine
Lost tourist asks for directions
Gonna show him a real good time tonight
Let’s take a ride quench our desires
Just check the balance on my Oyster Card
Fifty Shades of Gray on Kindle Fire
It’s a sound I heard
We’re down on the underground
Let’s groove with the rats to the deep shaft sound
To Upminster let’s go
With a long delay quite near Plaistow
Out on the line Northern
Fall asleep you’ll wake up in Morden
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground
Monday morning weekend lusts forgotten
Commuters fighting for the one last seat
So crushed the crowd is pushing me higher
My arse is being felt from down below
Pickpockets have pinched my smartphone
It’s a sound I, it a sound I know
We’re down with the underground
We’re so getting hip to the deep shaft sound
To Cockfosters let’s go
Piccadilly Palare to Arsenal
Out on the District line
Be the victim of a petty crime
Circle line round and round
It’s the sound of the London Underground

Agus is spraoi, spraoi, spraoi
é ar Luas, Luas Bhaile Átha Cliath
(Translation: And it's fun, fun, fun on Luas, Luas Dublin)
A lovers' Leap for Vicki Pipe and Geoff Marshall
Another tram song will be contro-varshall
Across the Liffey in a jiffy, it's a nice jaunt
The rhymes are iffy but let's get to The Point
Let’s go from Cheeveston to Red Cow and Heuston
There’s thirty stations on the Red Line to choose from
Let’s go to Leopardstown and Brides Glen if there’s time
To Windy Arbor, Cherrywood, on the Green Line
Let’s stop at Trinity to read the Book of Kells
Toast a Jameson whiskey in Smithfield as well
Let’s take a selfie on the Ha’penny bridge near Jervis
Luas means speed; it's an exceptional service
Let's go from Connolly to Saggart or Rialto
It's the Luas way to go
And it’s fun, fun, fun
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
And they've gone, gone, gone
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
Let’s go from Dundrum-rum-rum
To Grangegorman-man-man
And it’s fun, fun, fun
On the Dublin tram, tram, tram
It's the Luas...
