Hurry up, please hurry up - it's twenty five to nine
And a handsome train awaits us on the Worth Valley Line.
The whistle blows, the flag is waved and everyone is ready.
The train pulls out from Keighley and we're going nice and steady.
The train chugs off along the line, past houses row by row -
You can study people's gardens and discover what they grow.
The whistle blows, darkness comes, we're going through a tunnel.
The steam that's blowing in on us is coming from the funnel.
All too soon we're out again and into bright sunlight.
There's people on the bridge ahead - they're waving with delight.
Half-time, Oakworth, with its lovely flower bed;
Whistle blows, flag is waved, it's full-steam ahead.
Haworth is where we get off - a very "Yorkshire" town.
We'll see the sights, have a meal and then we'll wander round.
At 3 o'clock we must be back - so don't forget the time -
A handsome train awaits us on the Worth Valley Line.
