LYRICS:
From London's suburbs it's off to work
Gridlock traffic drives you beserk
Trains and autobahn old and slow
There's an alternative way to go
Let's make a journey on the Croydon Tramlink
The future's plastic, the future's electric
It's like riding in a giant Scalextric
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Quiet, efficient and safe and green
Ride the future a town planner's dream
Trees and concrete, let's go to town
Visit the shops that were not burnt down
Wondering where all the money's gone?
Make two journeys and pay for one
Providing they're within 70 minutes on a prepaid Oystercard
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
From Elmers End to Merton Park, past Phipps Bridge
At Wandle Park IKEA, get a pink fridge
Let's go from Sandilands to Addington Village
It's so exciting there might be a spillage
Let's go from Wimbledon to Beckenham Junction
While we debate if we're in Surrey or London
See Civic gems like the Croydon Clock Tower
And the BRIT School which gave the world Dane Bowers
Travel in style to fabulous places
Watch out for the occasional racist
Every journey an adventure, and so
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
From London's suburbs it's off to work
Gridlock traffic drives you beserk
Trains and autobahn old and slow
There's an alternative way to go
Let's make a journey on the Croydon Tramlink
The future's plastic, the future's electric
It's like riding in a giant Scalextric
It's the only way to go
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Let's got to Beckenham-nam-nam
to Mitcham-ham-ham
And it's fun, fun, fun
On the Croydon tram, tram, tram
Quiet, efficient and safe and green
Ride the future a town planner's dream

Wondering where all the money's gone?

I am so grateful to Geoff and Vicki for bringing me here and giving me something to do with my life 💚
"Make two journeys, and pay for one."
"Providing they're within 70 minutes on a prepaid Oyster Card"
This song appears in my head every time I ride the croydon tram...
Even ten years later, this is beautiful.
*THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY STUCK IN MY HEAD*
everytime when you scan your oyster at a tram stop...... or think of tram.
Same
Same
SAME !!!!!
This is now on repeat in my mind. It's the missing piece from my life and no-one is more surprised than me that the hole in my life was Eccentronic shaped. Thank you.
If this is wrong than I never want to go right again.
Thank you @lordnevets! We would say we're happy to fill your hole. But since Yewtree you can't get away with those kind of jokes anymore ;)
Who came here from the help of Geoff Marshall?
Partly ashamed of acc enjoying this ahaha
Me
Been here before, but Geoff got me to come back, now going to Ikea to get a pink fridge, what a weird path my life is taking.
Me aswell lol
Lol
I very much love that you felt the need to include a "this is not a TfL promotional film", very catchy song indeed!
As a person who lives in croydon, I vibe with this song everyday!
I find it weird how I found this before Geoff Marshall did...
... and I absolutely love this song
I Found this song too by Geoff marshall and this song is nice
OMG you are here
I same found this before GM
As a person who lives in Croydon, I vibe with this song everyday, and trams are pog!

Hello there Dweller
I literally can’t get this out of my head 😭
Imagine what it's like for me - I'm one of the writers!
Great video.☺️ Geoff Marshall featured this video in his video.😂😂☺️
bwahahahahahaha! soooomeone who knows these 2 ^^ might have sent it to Geoff...
kiwi tayro Probably.😂😂☺️
That is literally the only reason i know this video existed
i just gotta say it... vicki looks different in this one!!
Matthew Dunderdale That’s not Vicki.
Omg this cured my depression
Croydon's version of Kraftwerk.
John from Eccentronic here. I've been called "The Timmy Mallet of Techno" so your label is even better!
Not far off, kraftwerk are a different scale of boring.
I found you're awesome video because of Geoff and Vicki
Have just enjoyed the LUAS version on All the Stations Ireland! Fame and fortune beckons, you should do a new version for all the UK tram systems. Well done Eccentronic for the music and Geoff and Vicki for completing all the tram stops.
Geoff and Vicki brought me here...
Same
Same Here
me too
Same
Yep
We were showed this at school. Its so fun and catchy
I'm going to have this is my head anytime I'm on the Trams
The best Croydon Tramlink video on youtube easily.
2:09 - 2:19 was the best part of the music
I am the fourth fastest person to ever visit all tram stops, only one spot behind Geoff Marshall, and I'm only 15!
Have you done the whole of the Underground yet? I have! (Haven't done the trams yet but probably will one day.)
@@JamesTheBell1 tube challenge is flippin hard man, i did all of the northern line shortest time and that was hard so i cant imagine doing the whole thing
Indeed. In the future we will all just have to remain on an indefinite loop on the Tramlink going round and round East Croydon station.
Who has come here through Geoff and Vicki???
me
Me

The subtitles are out of sync
...and now you can ride a Virobahn bahn bahn on the Croydon tram tram tram!
What a sham, sham, sham.
Shame that I missed the tram, in the morning of November 6th 2016 since someone did not have fun on the tram

Great tune. Great video!
i like it so i'm coming to london just to ride the croydon tram
AMAZING! Share a link to your videos here when you make it Will!
Eeeee! When I went to Croydon as a desperate teenager in the 70's I would occasionally hum Kaftwerk's greatest hits to myself. "She (was) so modern..."
Who came here from Geoff Marshall and Viki
LondonTubeTV me

Thanks, Marcus! Glad you enjoyed
I guess is one of the future type of songs
Great tune!
This is amazing!! How does it now have more views- should have gone viral!!!
Interesting…
1:43 bless you!
Well done 👍
Trams!!,!,!,!,!

Excellent work :)
Dadadada when you see the ticket inspector jump off dadadadadada have a racist rant on the tram tram tram dadadadadada if you are depressed jump in front of the tram tram tram dadadadadada

providingthey'rewithin70minuitesonaprepaidoystercard
The future is here and I didn't know it!
1000st like from me :D
Well done.
tram tram tram catchy
It looks like they've been held at gunpoint, and forced to sing about the Croydon tram.
They sounded like vocaloids
There needs to be an instrumental version!
Yes
Hes a genius
iconic
I wonder if they really find the Croydon tram Fun Fun Fun
Probably not 😀
Very Kraftwerk esque
I was on a tram today and it was fun fun fun,
Tramtastic!
Thanks @citytransportinfo! We have another song about London Underground so watch this space!
Subscribed!
1:19 dead inside and miserable
Bits are so much like Autobahn - Kwarfwerk
That was indeed our inspiration!
1:43 you see her sneeze
Do you have an instrumental of this?
Why have I found this now😂
I came here through Geoff and vicki
Most amusing.
Thanks @deadlyskinz, spread word to your Tram colleagues!
Trams are Tops has seen your video.
Great... look forward to it.:-) Have subscribed to ensure I get to hear when its released.
I hope you know the difference between the 'tube' trains that travel deep underground through circle shaped tunnels and the 'subsurface' trains (Metropolitan, District, Circle, Hammersmith & City) which are NOT 'tube' trains, as they travel through 'cut and cover' tunnels located just below the surface.
1:43 *ITS CORONA TIME*
Very good, with some great humour and a fab dance move. Well done!
I wouldnt mess with these hard nuts
1:43
The most chessiest song ever 😂😂😂
Man I miss the bells
P.s its called London tramlink
The victoria line is the best light rail service in london
You misspelt DLR there
@@walale12 lol
Except that the Victoria line is not a light rail service
Which German? Have they taken over Croydon now?
Geoff Geoff Geoff
2020 any won
No, they didn't advertise anything. That was the newspaper themselves. The person who made this video actually just found out about it, how could they 'advertise' it?
What a laugh lol!
Brilliant! although to go from Beckenham-ham-ham to Mitcham-ham-ham, you'd need to change at Sandilands-ands-ands :(
Not any more. You can now get a direct tram from Beckenham junction to Wimbledon.
Not any more. You can now get a direct tram from Beckenham junction to Wimbledon.
No you don't
@@marcociarleglio it is a comment from 5 years ago though.
@The secular humanist LOL
I take this tram everyday, to and from college to get to East Croydon station. It’s miserable.
This is my shit
FUN FUN FUNhaha
Looooo
If you don't understand it, you won't understand it.
Wonderfully ridiculous.
Would you like some lyrics
-meeeee--
Why does this feel a bit like a Pet Shop Boys video?
Possibly because the Pet Shop Boys were in part inspired by Kraftwerk, and that's the style we were aiming to pastiche. Or maybe not, of course!
Well there's 2.53 mins ill never get bk
Yes, it's shocking - this is the uniform the German would like to impose on Tramlink staff.
😁❤🎶🎹🍾🍷🍺🍻
