 Get up in the morning, get on the bus!
 Get up in the morning like the rest of us.
 Places to go; important people to  meet
better  not get up or you might lose your seat
Bus  Rider! ff]
Leave  the house at 6 o'clock to be on time
Leave  the wife & kids at home to make a dime
Grab  your lunch pail; check for mail in  your slot
You  won't get ur check if u don't punch  the clock, Bus Rider!
Grab  the evening paper & sit down in your chair
Grab  yourself a toupee cuz you're losing your hair...
Doesn't  matter what u do, you've nothin'  to lose
I'm  so awful goddam glad I'm not in ur shoes,  Bus Rider!
