Our Cally Mac's for sale
Public service coffin's nail
We'll nae let fares go skywards
- Pirates!
Piranhas 'neath the waves
Lurk hungry in the caves
We've seen your profit figures
- Gold diggers!

Oh ticket office, ticket office, why
Is your fair window really gone for good?
However much I touch or hard I try
The robot can not serve me like you could
If you had closed 'cause I don't have to pay
If transport were a public service, free
I'd no more need to use you anyway
Or miss your glazed familiarity
But still the faceless charge a fortune fare
