[B]
[Bm] Hi, thank you.
This time I figured I would sing you my song about the bus.
And I know about the bus, because I take lots of bus trips.
That's right, no one I travel to Japan can't take the bus.
But here in the U.S., lots of them.
[D]
Train too.
Rent a car when I have to.
But, but, but.
[B] Well, [D] the welfare gal and her drunk galoo,
and nobody wearing [G] a three-piece suit.
You meet folks this way you'd never see [D] flying.
[A] You [Eb] take the plane, [Db] but I'll take the [D] bus this time.
The welfare gal and her drunken swain,
folks, they don't [Am] let on the [G] plane.
The mother screaming and [D] the baby crying.
[A] You take the plane, but I'll take the [D] bus this time.
[Ab] Where it's [B] Salt Lake [E] City, everybody [B] off.
Salt Lake City, everybody [G] off.
Elko, Wells, and Reno [D] down the line.
[A] Take the plane, I'll take the bus this [Bm] time.
[G] But [A] Jonathan, [D] you're crazy for taking the bus.
Okay, I'm crazy, so what's the fun?
You ever [G] look, Jonathan, this is not funny.
Three old days on that [D] bus.
Yeah.
And I sleep fine.
I [B] sleep, no, just like that.
You take the plane, [D] I'll take the bus this time.
There's more, don't go away.
The welfare gal and her drunken cuss,
and Pepsi cans rolling around the bus.
[G] Add [B] newspapers and grit, and you [D] got slime.
[A] You take the plane, I'll take the bus [D] this time.
The welfare gal from her drunken clan
spraying her hair with an [G] aerosol can,
leaving a cloud [D] of phony lemon and lime.
[Cm] [A] You take the plane, I'll take the [B] bus this time.
[Abm] Where [B] it's Salt Lake City, everybody off.
Salt Lake City, everybody [G] off.
Elko, Wells, and Reno [D] down the line.
[A] You take the plane, I'll take the bus [B] this time.
One more bus.
The welfare gal's got a nasty hold
on that little two-year [G]-old,
and I'm thinking about that [B] child abuse hotline.
[A] You take the plane, I'll take the bus [Dm] this time.
That was a sad bus.
[B] Where it's Salt Lake City, everybody off.
Salt Lake City, [G]
[D] [A]
[D] everybody off.
[Dbm] [C] Child abuse, [Fm] you're crazy for taking the bus.
I'm crazy for watching the bus.
[Bb] [Ab] Three old days on that stinkin' bus.
[F] And I said, fine.
[Bb] You take [C] the plane, I'll take the [Bb] bus this time.
