LYRICS

 

TRAIN SPOTTER 

 

He's a, train-spotter

In his polar neck sweater

With his note-book jotter

A loco-number collector

See him down on the tracks

Wearing his favourite anorak

In all kinds of weather

Says there isn't nothing better

Then electric, steam and diesel

Record them all in sequel

He's a real go getter

Number one train-spotter

 

Chorus

But he doesn't give a damn

What people may think

With his woolly hat on 

And his Hot Bovril drink

They can call him weird 

A real stupid gink

But he doesn't give a

As long as there's trains he can spot

Train-spotter

 

See him down on the platform

In Glasgow or Eastbourn

Been up since the crack of dawn

His passion is so forlorn

He will travel for miles

From Plymouth to Carlisle

Like a magnet that's drawn

Oblivious to their scorn

Says there is nothing that can equal

Then to record them all in sequel

He's a real go getter

Number one train-spotter

 

Chorus

 

You may have your own pleasure

Different ways to spend your

Activities you might treasure

But you know it's hard to measure

The enjoyment one receives

You just cannot believe

The wild anticipation

For a rolling stock

Says there's nothing that can equal

He says it's almost sexual

He's a real thrill-taker

Number one train-spotter

 

Chorus
