Waiting For The Bus
We got the mother and the kids
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad, we all get late
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standing on the corner, waiting for a bus
Say hey, Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
Let's call the mayor, let's complain
Looks like the city's done to us again
Tied up in traffic, what do you know
The damn city bus moves so slow
Say hey Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
(Young man you're transfer's expired, will you please pay full fair?)
(I just got this transfer!)
(Hey can you open up the back door?)
(Either pay your 65 cents or you'll have to leave the bus)
(You gotta be kidding me I just got it!)
(Will you please open the back door?)
We got the mother and the kids
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad, we all get late
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standing on the corner, waiting for a bus
Say hey Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad, we all get late
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standing on the corner, waiting for a bus
Say hey, Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
Let's call the mayor, let's complain
Looks like the city's done to us again
Tied up in traffic, what do you know
The damn city bus moves so slow
Say hey Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
(Young man you're transfer's expired, will you please pay full fair?)
(I just got this transfer!)
(Hey can you open up the back door?)
(Either pay your 65 cents or you'll have to leave the bus)
(You gotta be kidding me I just got it!)
(Will you please open the back door?)
We got the mother and the kids
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad, we all get late
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standing on the corner, waiting for a bus
Say hey Mr. Driverman, don't be slow
'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go
Say hey Mr. Driverman, drive that thing fast
My precious time keeps slipping past
