Valentine’s Day — I Love to Tap ‘n’ GO (as sung to the tune of "I love Rock N Roll")

Special to This Crazy Train

By Iona Pintó

Last year, GO Transit ran their “semaine de l'amour” campaign in the run up to Valentine’s Day.  Remember this?  So cute!  I’m not aware of any special observances by GO Transit for February 14 this year, but I thought TCT should do something, so here’s my salute to the gentlemen behind the wheel of the big green limos.

First, let’s dust off that LaserDisc from ’82 and crank up the volume, or stream some video from YouTube, DailyMotion, or just audio from JunoRecords.  All set?  Let’s GO …

I saw him clearing his jammed ticket machine

Selling fares to a couple of sweet sixteens

The queue was really long

And sales were going strong

And I could tell it would be long till he was with me, yeah me

And I could tell it would be long till he was with me, yeah me

Singing, I love to tap and GO

Put another 10 on my ePurse, baby

I love to tap and GO

I wanna sit up front so you can chat with me

Ow!

He smiled when I asked him for his name

He said, “The Passenger Charter calls me Wayne”

He said, “Take a seat that’s near

So our chat is nice ‘n’ clear”

And next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me

Next we were moving on, he was with me, yeah me

Singing, I love to tap and GO

Put another 10 on my ePurse, baby

I love to tap and GO

I wanna sit up front so you can chat with me

Ow!

He said, “Let’s get you home

You don’t wanna be out there alone”

Next we're moving on, he was with me, yeah me

And we'll be moving on and singing that same old song, yeah with me

Singing, I love to tap and GO

Put another 10 on my ePurse, baby

I love to tap and GO

I wanna sit up front so you can chat with me

I love to tap and GO

Put another 10 on my ePurse, baby

I love to tap and GO

I wanna sit up front so you can chat with me

Happy Valentine’s Day, gents!  [wink]
