Busman's Holiday

(Bruce Donnola/BMI)
1998

I got a job driving a city bus around
My route's in Brooklyn, in the outter borroughs of town
You'd think by now I'da had my fill
But this vacation is sure gonna be a thrill

CHORUS
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday
A-way out west somewhere, I'm on my way
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday

Gonna see sister, she's out in Californ
I ain't seenher since my little niece was born
I coulda flown but planes fall down
And the train don't run anywhere near her town, so

CHORUS
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday
A-way out west somewhere, I'm on my way
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday

There's a pretty girl sitting across the aisle
If I work my cards right I might kiss her before the final mile

CHORUS
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday
A-way out west somewhere, I'm on my way
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday

'cross the Jersey swamps and on
Through the Pennsylvania dawn
Cut across the Bluegrass State
And drove right through St. Louis gate
Crossed the duty Kansas plain
Through the Colorado rain
I'm on the road, I'm on the way
On a busman's holiday
I'm off and running on a Busman's holiday
