The trains that stop at Down Street--(Sing willow-waly-O!)--
They run through Hyde Park Corner as fast as they can go;
And trains at Hyde Park Corner that stop--(Oh dearie me!)--
Contrariwise at Down Street are "non-stop" as can be.
There's a man at Down Street Station--he came there years ago
To get to Hyde Park Corner--(Sing willow-waly-O!)--
And, as the trains go past him, 'tis pitiful to see
Him beat his breast and murmur, "Oh dearie, dearie me!"
