Wellington Goes To Waterloo Lyrics by The Wombles

The Best Wombles Album So Far, Volume One

0

[Verse 1]
It was early one morning, the fish were jumping high
The policemen were in their uniforms, there were aeroplanes in the sky
Young Wellington raised his glasses to the sky of ever-so-blue
Saying "Let's collect some engine numbers down at Waterloo"
[Verse 2]
A day-off comes so seldom in a Womble's working year
That they like to make the most of them whenever they appear
So he put away his tidy-bag and joined the breakfast queue
Saying, "Soon I'll be in London Town, down at Waterloo"
[Chorus]
Ooh, ticket collector, ticket-collecting all day long
If you let me look at the engines, I'll sing you a Wombling song
[Verse 3]
So he wandered on to Platform Six, his notebook in his paw
He cleaned his glasses with a rag he found upon the floor
Just then a mighty Pullman Train came rattling into Town
So Wellington whipped his notebook out and got the number down
[Chorus]
Ooh, ticket collector, ticket-collecting all day long
If you let me look at the engines, I'll sing you a Wombling song
[Chorus]
Ooh, ticket collector, ticket-collecting all day long
If you let me look at the engines, I'll sing you a Wombling song
[Verse 4]
The trains pulled in and out again, 'til Wellington's book filled up
So he poured his thermos flask of tea into his plastic cup
He assessed the situation as he sipped the steaming brew
"It's so nice collecting engine numbers, down at Waterloo."
[Chorus]
Ooh, ticket collector, ticket-collecting all day long
If you let me look at the engines, I'll sing you a Wombling song
[Chorus]
Ooh, ticket collector, ticket-collecting all day long
If you let me look at the engines, I'll sing you a Wombling song
