The Garden Railway enthusiasts song aka Ode to Caradoc

[riveresk]

Ode to Caradoc, (with thanks to the Plunderbird team for giving us this fab song).

We're big boys, we build big toys, we're handy with a spanner. If it don't work, we go beserk and hit it with a hammer.

Oh it took six weeks to get here, when we looked at it, it was broke. So we sent it back to the workshop, to fix that blasted choke.

Have you got a chuff pipe?
Course we 'ave.

We all love our engines - they're shiny and they're clean. But when they lose their crank pins, they make us vent our spleen.

We're big boys, we build big toys, we're handy with a spanner. If it don't work, we go beserk and hit it with a hammer.

We're all nice and friendly when we're in our pits. But when we're at a steamup we smash Bluebottle to bits!

Have you got a chuff pipe?
COURSE WE 'AVE.

Okay, I know that steam engines do not have chokes, nor railway enthusiasts, pits but I'm using artistic license - it's really hard finding a rhyme for broke and I loved that smashing Bluebottle line - sorry SLRMidge!

I think the driver of Bluebottle is starting to get a persecution complex
