The (D major) (G major) bus is slowin' down
an (D major) d I'm (G major) stoppin'
The bus driver says, (D major) fly (G major) right on in
(D major) Well, (G major) I made it on time (D major) for (G major) one more day
(D major) Don't (G major) wanna cut it that close again
(D major) Cause (B flat major) I've got that (C major) early
morning wake up
Get dressed, breakfast time,
brush my teeth
(G major) Catch that school bus fast
And if I (D major) don't start movin' more quickly

Oh, (D major) (G major) oh, (D major) oh (G major)
(D major) (G major)
There you are, Rita,
sleeping again
on the back of the bus.
You've slept right through first period.
You just marched yourself
to the principal's office,
young lady.
I can't believe that girl.
She sleeps more than
anyone I've ever known.
(G major) If I handed out a grade (G major) for sleeping,
she'd get an A.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
