pistonbroke Posted October 15, 2006 Posted October 15, 2006 Found this while surfing (don't ask) It could have been written for MOTCO what dya think A Transport Of Delight lyrics Some people like a motorbike Some say a tram for me Or for Bonnie Army Lorry They'd lay them doon and dee Such means of locomotion seem rather dull to us The driver and conductor of a London Omnibus Hold very tight please! ting! ting! Hold very tight please! ting! ting! When you are lost in London And you don't know where you are You'll hear my voice a calling: 'Move further down the car' And very soon you'll find yourself Inside the terminus In a London Transport Diesel Engined Ninety-Seven Horsepower Omnibus Along the Queen's great highway I drive my merry load At twenty miles an hour In the middle of the road We like to drive in convoys We're most gregarious The big six-wheeler Scarlet painted London Transport Diesel Engined Ninety-Seven Horsepower Omnibus Earth has not anything to show more fair Mind the stairs, Mind the stairs, Mind the stairs Earth has not anything to show more fair Any more fares, Any more fares When cabbies try to pass me, Before they overtakes, I stick my flippin' hand out and I jams on all me brakes Them jackal taxi drives can only swear and cuss Behind that monarch of the road Observer of the highway code That big six-wheeler Scarlet painted London Transport Diesel Engined Ninety-Seven Horsepower Omnibus I stops when I'm requested Although it spoils the ride So he can shout: 'Get out of it We're full right up inside' We don't ask much for wages, We only want fair shares So cut down all the stages And stick up all the fares If tickets cost a pound a piece Why should you make a fuss? It's worth it just to ride inside That thirty foot long by ten foot wide Inside that monarch of the road Observer of the highway code That big six-wheeler Scarlet painted London Transport Diesel Engined Ninety-Seven Horsepower Ninety-Seven Horsepower Omnibus Hold very tight Please!

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 Ah, Flanders and Swan wasn't it? Meself, I liked the Hippopotamus song. Can't stand people singin' on me 'bus - it disturbs the train of thought. Didn't they sing something with the chorus: "Ma's out, Pa's out, let's be rude." "Dance in the garden in the nude." "Pee, po, belly, bum, drawers" Quote
