STAY SAFE
Don't go near the trains my boy
don't go near the trains
they'll carry you off in a puff of smoke
and we'll never see you again.
Stay away from cars son
stay away from cars
they'll run you down for sure son
they're sure to run you down.
Don't go near the water lad
water 'll take you away
water 'll take you away my son
we don't want you to drown.
Keep well clear of men my lad
keep well clear of men
some of them are strange my lad
funny in the head.
Don't go wandering off my boy
don't go wandering off
you're far too innocent you see
we worry all the time.
We don't mind if you stay indoors
and dream about the world
as long as what you do is safe
we think it's only fair.
So don't go near the trains my boy
don't go near the trains.
You may go up in a puff of smoke
and we'll never see you again

Apologies for the late response everyone! Keith, you're right, it does have that kind of flow to it - i'll have to make do with zoom !
Thanks Martin, my dad would have been too aloof to do that, but i'm glad it stirred up a memory or two!
Hi Brian. There's some truth to that in an extreme sense. I often think everything we used to take for granted has to be justified nowadays even though to us it is bleeding obvious.
Yes Mark. That doesn't bear thinking about, although some of our leaders have chunks of common sense missing that we took for granted and learnt almost by rote.
Many thanks for the likes too, Graham, Binte, Stephen and Iman.
