A bunk aboard a wagon lit
Carries us northwards from the sea
In bedside glasses dentures clink
La Gare de Lyon in a blink!
To the left bank of the Seine,
Time to catch another train,
Not from here! This is Austerlitz!
Where Hun heads south to tan his bits
Next to La Gare de Montparnasse
Another journey somewhat crass
From here the trains head only west
Perhaps we need La Gare de l'Est?
Then, at La Gare de Saint Lazare,
A situation quite bizarre;
Says the porter, "Oh my Lord!"
"You two need La Gare du Nord"
"There the train leaves tout de suite"
"Don't forget to book a seat"
"Onwards to the fair Boo-lonya"
"Farewell, don't get any onya!"
