The Taps Train

The Taps Ode

Now I've been happy lately
Thinking about the paper to come
And I believe it could be
Yes taps has begun
I've been smiling lately
Dreaming about the world as one
And I believe it could be
Taps is bound to come

For out on the edge of Bancroft
There runs the taps train
taps train take this Academy
Come take me home again

Now I've been smiling lately
Thinking about the good things to come
And I believe it could be
Yes taps has begun

Taps train sounding louder
Ride on the taps train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoorah
Come on the taps train
Taps train's a holy roller
Everyone jump upon the taps train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoorah
Come on the taps train

Get your plebes together
Come bring your youngsters too
Because it's getting nearer
Soon it will be with you
Come and join the living
It's not so far from you
And it's getting nearer
Soon it will be 22 (hundred)

Taps train sounding louder
Ride on the taps train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoorah
Come on the taps train

I've been crying lately
Thinking about where taps is
Why must we go on hating?
Why it's that taped pen I miss?
For out on the edge of Bancroft
There rides the taps train
taps train take this Academy
Come take me home again

Taps train sounding louder
Ride on the taps train
Hoo-ah-eeh-ah-hoorah
Come on the taps train

Come on, come on, come on the taps train...
