Some talk of a lagonda

Some like a smart mg

Or for bonnie army lorry

They'd lay them do on and deep

Such means of locomotion

Seem quite suitable for us

For all and conductor of a London omnibus

Hold very tight please ting ting

Hold very tight please ting ting

When you are lost in London

And you don't know where you are

You'll hear my voice a calling

Pass further down the car

And very soon you'll find yourself

Inside the terminus

In a London transport diesel engined

Ninety seven horse power omnibus

Along the queen's great highway

We drive our merry load

At twenty miles per hour

In the middle of the road

We like to drive in convoys

We're most gregarious

The big six wheeler

Scarlet painted London transport diesel engined

Ninety seven horse power omnibus

Earth has not anything to show more fair

Mind the stairs mind the stairs

Earth has not anything to show more fair

Any more fares any more fares

When cabbies try to pass me

Before they overtakes

I sticks me flipping hand out

As I jams on all me brakes

Them jackal taxi drivers

Can only swear and cuss

Behind that monarch of the road

Observer of the highway code

That big six wheeler

Scarlet painted London transport

Diesel engined

Ninety seven horse power omnibus

I stops when I’m requested

Although it spoils the ride

So I can shout get out of it

We're full right up inside

We don't ask much for wages

We only want fair shares

So cut down all the stages

And stick up all the fares

If tickets cost a pound a piece

Why should you make a fuss

It's worth it just to ride inside

That thirty foot long by ten foot wide

Inside that monarch of the road

Observer of the highway code

That big six wheeler

Scarlet painted

London transport

Diesel engined

Ninety seven horse power

Ninety seven horse power omnibus

Oh very tall place
