So here you are in this city

With a shattered heart it seems

Though when you arrived you thought you'd have

The holiday of your dreams

You'd cry yourself to sleep if you could

But you've been awake all night

Well here's something you need to do

At the first hint of morning light

Walk right across the deserted city

To the Boulevard Amsterdam

And wait there

For what the citizens here

Refer to as the Breakfast Tram

Climb on board

You'll soon manage

To find at the far and of the carriage

The most wonderful buffet

There's everything you'd want to eat

You can take a feast back to your seat

Whatever you can fit onto your tray

And the mist on the windows will start to fade

As the sun climbs higher in the sky

And you can sit back with your café au lait

While outside the waking city clatters by

So things didn't quite meet expectations

But you're bound to conclude upon reflection

There's no reason you should give a d**n

Just treat yourself

To a cinnamon pancake

Very soon you'll forget your heartache

When you have breakfast on the morning tram

It'll be quite quiet when you first get on

But as that tram keeps moving along

It'll fill with people starting on their day

They'll be laughing and joking as they eat

They'll be passing plates along the seats

Your night of heartache will soon seem far away

And even though you're a stranger

They'll make you feel

Right at home

They'll be offering to refill your coffee

They won't have you sitting there alone

'Cause they've seen many others just like you

And each one of them has had it happen too

So just enjoy your scrambled eggs and ham

Just treat yourself

To a cinnamon pancake

Very soon you'll forget your heartache

When you have breakfast on the morning tram

And even though you're a stranger

They'll make you feel

Right at home

They'll be offering to refill your coffee

They won't have you sitting there alone

'Cause they've seen many others just like you

And each one of them has had it happen too

So just enjoy your fresh croissant and jam

And don't neglect the Belgian waffles

You'll soon forget all your troubles

When you have breakfast on the morning tram
