384 - Trum trum trum trum, tr-travelling on the train

Trum trum trum trum, tr-travelling on the train,
Trum trum trum trum, the tube train in London,
Trum trum … oh dear, trum, it’s stopping again
In a dark tunnel, and the whole world’s on.
I see two happy men, they’re African,
Hear confident tones of Canuck or Yank;
Unable to phone, East European,
The thick walls of the underground to thank.
Hum hum hum hum, h-headphones, faces blank,
Or young partygoers, the girls so vain,
The men viewing a leg exhibition,
Not eager for the train to get to Bank.
Trum, starting again, trum, they did explain
The stoppage, trum, but were heard by no-one.
