On the Bus Lyrics

(whistle) ...I get up early. I grab some change.
Take my umbrella in case it rains.
Walk up to Berkman. Hangin' out with Ox.
He' drinking malt liquor and I'm watchin' the clock.
And you can bet your bottom dollar that the bus will be on time.
Old Sue the driver's yelling at me while I'm standing in line...
She says don't you make a fuss, just get up on the bus
We're gonna take a ride downtown today.
There ain't no need to whine, I'll get you there by nine
You can talk to all the crazies along the way.
And if you need to stop, just give me half a block
And pull the line that lets me know you wanna get off
Of the bus, there's no need to fuss
Gonna get you downtown today
Everyday it feels the same.
I put my eight hours in and my body is feeling the pain.
But when that hand strikes five o'clock and it's time for me to punch out
I'll be the first in line at the bus stop waiting on that number nine route
And you can bet your bottom dollar that the bus will be on time.
Old Sue the driver's yelling at me while I'm standing in line...
She says don't you make a fuss, just get up on the bus
We're gonna take a ride downtown today.
There ain't no need to whine, I'll get you there by nine
You can talk to all the crazies along the way.
And if you need to stop, just give me half a block
And pull the line that lets me know you wanna get off
Of the bus, there's no need to fuss
Gonna get you downtown today
Gonna get you downtown today
Gonna take you downtown today
Gonna get you downtown today
Gonna take you downtown today
I get up early. I grab some change.
Take my umbrella 'cause I know it's gonna rain.... (whistle)
