The (Rail)Way to Happiness.
For cheery folks and those who crave To talk on topics bright or grave,
To exercise both tongue and brain,
I'd recommend the railway train,
’Tis here you hear the merry quip,
That banishes the morning pip,
And takes the mind from carping care—
There's friendly feeling in the air.
For half an hour or half a day,
You watch the landscape roll away,

“Whiskers and wisdom.”

“Whiskers and wisdom.”

And feel that after all you CAN
Appreciate your fellow man.
For here you see him at his best,
With body soothed and mind at rest.
He feels relieved from stress and strain,
When resting in a railway train.
Each traveller distinctly feels,
The friendly throbbing of the wheels,
And if he's glum he'll soon regain
His ginger in a railway train.
