Little girl guide
Why don't you stop your crying
Here comes Ivor the dirty old sooty engine driver to make you feel all right
Yeah, yeah!
My name is Ivor, I'm an engine driver
I know him well, I know why you feel blue
Just cause he's late, don't mean he'll never get through
He told me he loved you
He ain't no liar, I ain't either
So let's have a smile for an old engine driver

Soon be home

We'll soon,
We'll soon, soon, soon be home
Soon be home
Soon be home oh yeah

Dang, dang, dang, dang

Cello, cello, cello, cello
Cello, cello, cello, cello

Cello, cello, cello, cello
I can't believe it
Do my eyes deceive me
Am I back in your arms
Away from all harm
It's like a dream to be with you again
Aw!
Can't believe that I'm with you again
Ba ba, bo bo ba ba, ba ba
I missed you and I must admit
I've kissed a few and once did sit
On Ivor the engine driver's lap
And later with him had a nap
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
You are forgiven
Know you're forgiven
Come on baby, baby forgiven
Know that you lied
Know you're forgiven
Know that you made me cry
Baby
You are forgiven
You know you're forgiven
You're all forgiven!
