YouTuber transport legends Geoff Marshall and Vicki Pipe from All The Stations asked Eccentronic to write a version of our classic tune 'Croydon Tram' to celebrate their trip in March 2019 to Dublin. Here's what we came up with.
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...
