Mother says to hurry fast
Keep moving don’t delay
We’re going on a shopping trip
To good old Causeway Bay
We catch a tram, then next a train
To take us into town
We can’t be late, there’s much to do
When we are underground
The subway is a scary place
To pass through on your way
I never like to stay too long
When going to Causeway Bay
We ride upon a Hong Kong tram
That is so rickety
It hurtles down the longest street
Its wheels spin, clickety
I like the tram because it’s cool
It rocks along its tracks
I like it best when up on top
Sitting alone, right up the back
At every stop more folks climb in
Until it’s full inside
And on we clatter down the track
It’s such a crazy ride
It’s not too long before we’re there
The tram slows down to stop
And all the people pay their fare
And off they go to shop
Mum grabs my hand and off we go
Keep moving don’t delay
We’re going on a shopping trip
To good old Causeway Bay
