I'm On The Train
- Fascinating conversations on the train
It's just not possible to ignore people when they are on the mobile on the train, and they always seem to start off by telling everyone that they are "On the train".


"Yes my love, I'm on the train, I'll soon be soon pulling in."
"No my dear, my usual train, can't hear in all this din."
"The train is packed, might be late, we're going nowhere fast."
"Stick a tape in, record the start, missed it now, oh blast!"

"I'm on the train, the signal's bad. This reception's bad."
"I'm on the train, the signal's bad. The worst I've ever had!"
"I'm on the train, the signal's bad. Hardly hear you speak."
"I'm on the train, the signal's bad. It's been this bad all week."

"Yeah, he was fit all right, and he's really good in bed."
"Took me all the way upstairs, and then guess what he said?"
"Yeah, he's such a sweetie, and I think he meant it too!"
"It's too early to get married when you're twenty-two."

Chorus

"You've got to sell the Rimworth stock, getting really hot."
"Can't you see the trend old boy? You've got to sell the lot."
"Had the same thing happen to me only just last year."
"I was slow to spot the fall, and lost the lot I fear!"

Chorus

"Yeah, so I says to him, like how much you wanna bet."
"Nah, Jimbo's all mouth he is, ain't even hit me yet. "
"You off to the shop tonight, I think the girls are there."
"Yeah, you do! Give 'er a kiss. All right, just stand and stare."

Chorus

"I'm on the train!"
