I get up early
I grab some change
Take my umbrella
In case it rains
Walk up to Berkman
Hangin' out with Ox
He's drinking malt liquor
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
Talk with all the crazies along the way
And if you need to stop
Just give me half a block
Pull the line that lets me know you wanna get off
Cause I'm driving this bus
There's no need to fuss
Gonna take you downtown today"
Everyday
It seems the same
(Ah ooh)
I put my eight hours in
And my body is feeling the pain
(Ah ooh)
But when that hand strikes five o'clock
And it's time for me to punch out
(Ah ooh)
I'll be the first one in line at the bus stop
Waiting on that number nine route
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
Gonna take a ride downtown today
There ain't no need to whine
I'll get you there by nine
Talk with the crazies along the way
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 take you downtown today"
We're gonna get you downtown today
Gonna take you downtown today
We're gonna get you downtown today
I get up early
(Ah ooh)
I grab some change
(Ah ooh)
Take my umbrella
(Ah ooh)
Cause I know it's gonna rain
