The First Great Western

I Hear the train a coming
It's creaking round the bend
Should have been here at half past eight
And now it's half past ten
It's the First Great Western
Trudging Down the line
Yeah, the First Great Western
It never runs on time

If you get on in Bristol
If you get on in Bath
If you think you're going to get a seat
You must be having a laugh
On the First Great Western
We don't do none of that
It's your Friendly Franchise
"Sit on each other's lap"

Don't try to get a sandwich
There ain't no buffet car
The bogs are always broken
I hope you're not going far
On the First Great Western
I've heard everybody tell
Yeah, the First Great Western
That's the train from Hell

They've said they'll make improvements
They've got us all in mind
The latest cure for crowding
Is to make us run behind!!
The First Great Western
That's their latest plan
Yeah, The First Great Western
The Worst train known to man
