Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes

He saw a dirty old tramp,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

Goon couldn't believe his own eyes.
He saw a dirty old tramp,
Sneaking up the boat ramp,
And thought "him I shall have to chastise".

As Fatty ran quickly up towards the wharf,
'Go down to the side-shows by the river this afternoon. I'll meet you somewhere in disguise. Bet you won't know me!' wrote Fatty.

But couldn’t keep pace,
As Fatty jumped the next train to Corfe!

(He was going to hide out with his friends the Famous Five, if anyone was wondering... and yes, before all the railway buffs start protesting, I KNOW it's not possible to catch a train directly from Bourne End (Peterswood) to Corfe Castle. He changed at Maidenhead, Reading, Basingstoke and Wareham, OK? :mrgreen: :P )
