Time Flies By [Back in the D.H.S.S.]

Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grubb
Let it happen, bass player

Time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Speeding out of Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine
I get high when I’m the pilot of a plane
Touching down at Camberwick I’m stoned out of my brain

Under bridges, over bridges to our destination
Careful with that spliff,
Eugene, it causes condensation

Every Saturday I get the Chigley Skins
And they always smash my windows cos the home side always wins

Yeah time flies by when you’re a driver of a train
Gonna get these syringes out and crank up once again

Under bridges, over bridges to our destination
Careful with that spliff,
Eugene, it causes condensation


Notes taken from www.hmhb.co.uk

Based on the Chigley song of the same name. The opening notes are the theme tune to Camberwick Green; the subsequent 'bugle' (i.e. immediately before "Let it happen, bass player") bit is that played by Mr Bugle-player at Pippin fort - "Calling A, calling B, calling all in company".
Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble and Grubb The Trumpton fire brigade.
