The Bus

Step forward man
I don't know why some people
Can't stand it
When the bus they're waiting for
Doesn't seem to arrive
Some ask 'is this the last one?'
Others don't wait in line
And sometimes someone lacks
Respect for a lady
Pay attention, the bus
Is coming around the roundabout
Running over people
As if it were in a conga line
To get on at the door
People push each other
And sometimes the bus suffers
Facial disfigurement
And at the next stop
No one wants to move
And many look at faces
When the driver gets irritated
And many look at faces
When the driver gets irritated
Move over there sir
Take a step back
Because they don't give up their seat
For the elderly
Move over there sir
Take a step back
What I want
Is for people to move
So I can get on
Move over there sir
Take a step back
Make room
Because more can fit in the back
Move over there sir
Take a step back
Give the seat to Panchita
Who has a bad leg
Move over there sir
Take a step back
If people don't move
This bus won't go anywhere
Move over there sir
Take a step back
You'll see, you'll see
Take a step back
Take a step back my people
So those in the front can settle
Take a step back
Don't hang outside anymore
Take a step back
Wait for the next one coming behind
Take a step back
Be patient, it's coming
Take a step back
A step back please
I'm asking for permission
From the audience
Please help me, gentlemen
You who are my people
Ladies and gentlemen
Consider my work
So those left below can board
There's a lady
Who has a petticoat
And it fell
Getting on the bus
Move over there, move over there
Move over there, oh move over there
Move over there, move over there (repeat)
Pay attention now
To what I'm going to sing
The bus problem
That has to change
I know good people
Have culture
That's why they don't scratch the bus paint
When you reach the stop
Wait in line
Don't cut in front
Of the girl traveling alone
With your hands up there
With your hands up there
With your hands up there
With your hands up there
Oh mama, it's getting heated
Don't get involved, playing with the current
Oh mama, it's getting heated
It's getting heated
Because too many people got on
Oh mama, it's getting heated
Heated, heated, heated, heated
Oh mama, it's getting heated
Behave well sir
Because a lieutenant got on
Oh mama, it's getting heated
Don't get on anymore, there's no more room
It's getting heated
This bus can't fit anyone else
It's getting heated
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
It's getting heated
Like sardines in a can, people go
It's getting heated
I better get off at 20th Street
It's getting heated
