COUNTRY BUS
-----------
Jake Thackray
1939-2002
Country bus, North Country bus
Clumsy and cumbersome, rumbustious.
Country bus, North Country bus
Though you're a slow-coach
You're okay for us.
Though your cargo is confusion --
Sheep-men and cow-girls and
chickens galore at the back.
There's no need to hurry
We couldn't care less what the time may be.
And there's no call to worry
If you smell a bit, so do we! ....
Virolous ... Malodorous! ...
Country bus, North Country bus
Rollicking, frolicking, uproarious.
Country bus, North Country bus
You're rusty and you're dusty
But you're okay for us.
Though your seats are rather Spartan ...
We've got the springs in our backsides
to ride out your bounce.
Though you may stumble
After the dance on a Sunday night
Back-seat lovers don't grumble
They seem to manage all right! ...
Amorous ... Scandalous! ...
Country bus, North Country bus
Lusty and rustic and impetuous.
Country bus, North Country bus
Bog-trotting bumpkin
You're okay for us.
Though your progress is uncertain --
Specially at night when the "Public"
Has closed its doors.
You turn to dodder
Staggering home from the Beau Hotel.
We, we never bother
'Coz we've got the staggers as well ...
Glorious ... Notorious! ...
Country bus, North Country bus
Grunting and chuntering, cantankerous.
Country bus, North Country bus
But no other bus would be
good enough for us.
Through the wild, the cruel winter --
You get the cold in your eyes
and the snow up your nose.
But sooner or later
You will turn up in the Village square
With daffodils in your gaiters
and pussy-willow in your hair.
Wait for us -- wait for us!
Country bus ....
