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
