Hello Train

And hello train, it's April fool today

And when you get here, I know you're going to stay

Your letter said you'd travel by the 14:30 line

You'll be on the platform running

Oops, don't you look fine.

And hello train, it's April fool today

And won't it be nice to feel you smile

And won't it be nice to feel you loving me

And hello train, it's April fool today.

And here comes the gardener, funny little man.

He gives me a letter and puts it in my hand

Fumbling with the envelope, and trying to keep cool

Open up the letter, my my, it's April fool.

And hello train, it's April fool today

It would have been nice to feel you smile

It would have been nice to feel you loving me

And hello train, it's April fool today.

Unwanting to cry, I sigh, I slide away

And would you believe, the man calls out to stay

Look over my shoulder, hello he isn't there

Just a heap of railway clothes and whoops, my girlie's hair.

And hello girl, it's April fool today

And isn't it nice to feel you smile

And isn't it nice to feel you loving me

And hello train, it's April fool today.
