Re: The Tube Challenger's Christmas Carol Book
I will pick up where The Orange One left off and rewrite the Cascada version of Wham!'s Last Christmas (because the Cascada version is a lot better!)
Cascada - Last District
Oh.... ooh.... yeah...
Last District,
the train to Ken O,
it was very late and
the station was banned.
This year,
to save me from tears,
I'll take an earlier service (service).

(Instrumental)
Once cancelled, and twice late
I hate that station, but it will have to wait.
Tell me, Kenny, do you recognise me?
Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me.
(Kensington O!)
I scrunched it up and threw it,
with a complaint to TFL, I meant it.
Now I know what a fool I've been,
but if you ran on time I know you'd fool me again.

Oh....
A crowded train, packed like tinned sardines,
it's hiding from it and its tracks of ice.
My gosh, the District's something you can never rely on,
it's a little thing sticking out from Earl's Court, baby!
A face on a train with a fire in its heart:
a desolate station, but it tore me apart.
Oh...
Now I found a real train line which won't run late again!

Let's not forget the playground classic:
We three kings of Leicester Square,
Selling ladies' underwear.
So fantastic, no elastic,
Only three pence a pair.
