Get up in the mornin', get on the bus Get up in the mornin' like the rest of us Places to go, important people to meet Better not get up or you might lose your seat Bus rider.
Leave the house at six o'clock to be on time Leave the wife and kids at home to make a dime Grab your lunch pail check for mail in your slot You won't get your cheque if you don't punch the clock Bus rider.
Grab the evenin' paper and sit down in your chair Grab yourself a toupee, cause you're losin' your hair Doesn't matter what you do you've nothin' to lose I'm so awful goddamn glad I'm not in your shoes Bus rider.
