I'm In Love With A Lady Engine-Driver


I’m In Love With A lady Engine-Driver

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
Looks like we’re well on track
I’ve found she’s just the ticket
Hope we never have to look back

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
She drives all over this nation
I hope I’m not just a passenger
Courting way above my station

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
I hope that we can travel far
It’s still early in the journey
But the signals are looking good so far

I’m in love with a lady-engine-driver
Hope our coupling’s not ill-starred
But she knows how to conduct herself
And I’m keeping on my guard

I’m in love with a lady-engine driver
She’s my Virgin railway pass
Not any kind of common traveller
But right up there in First Class

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
Sometimes she lets me stay all night
She really has some great points
And she’s giving me the green light!

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
I’m all steamed up
That we’ve teamed up
I like her carriage
It might lead to marriage
I hope this miss’ll
Wet my whistle
That we won’t be cancelled or delayed
That our love will never fade

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
I’m really chuffed
That we’ve huffed and puffed
She’s a lovely sleeper
She’s a real keeper
I hope that she’s forever mine
And doesn’t shunt me off her main line
That our loving never fails
And doesn’t go off the rails
  
I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
She looks good in reds and blues
She’ got a lovely pair of buffers
Standing there in her platform shoes

I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
Everything’s now in train
I think she’s the real goods
Please let it not go down the drain!

Yes, I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
I guess I’m really nervous
In case I get shunted into a siding
And become her rail replacement service

Yes, I’m in love with a lady engine-driver
The very thought of her makes me tingle
So I hope that she’ll return each night
And that I’ll never again have to travel single
