On London Transport I used to do my shopping
Stock-well up down at the Bank and finish up on Wapping station
Tooting my horn, 'n' kids I Turn-ham Green
If they played on the edge where they'd been seen
I was working on the railway
Not as a sleeper as some folk say
I was working on the railway
Mind the doors, you'll be okay
I met a girl call Stepney Green, she really was quite sweet
She used to give me New Cross buns, oh what a Bakers-treet
I got down on my Neas-den said could she give me a kiss
She said go and ask if Barbi-can, I can't Stan-more of this
I was working on the railway (subtle stuff)
Not as a sleeper as some folk say ('ear listen)
I was working on the railway
Mind the doors, you'll be okay
I met a girl called Valerie the Angel of my heart
I tried to get her Plaistow but the Ald-wych was too smart
I said O-Val I'm not a Rich-mond, Golders Green for all I know
She left me by the Waterloo what a loovely way to go
I was working on the railway (flipping 'eck)
Not as a sleeper as some folk say
I was working on the railway
Mind the doors, you'll be okay
My girl from Ealing Common she ran off with High Street Ken
But now she's seen that Kens-al Green she's back with me again
I knew I'd Picc-a-dilly if I worked upon the rail
I'm going to wed Victoria her mother's Maida Vale
I was working on the railway ('ear listen)
Not as a sleeper as some folk say (it's good isn't it)
I was working on the railway
Mind the doors, you'll be okay
Mind the doors, you'll be okay
