A 
Way back then, when we were kids,
G 
D 
life was simple then.
G 
D 
Off to school, the golden rule,
A 
with a pencil and a pen.
D 
A 
The highlight of those golden years,
G 
what meant the most to us,
D 
G 
Was travelling in in splendour
D 
A 
D 
on that old school bus
A 
And throwing paper aeroplanes
G 
and smoking at the bank
D 
G 
D 
And when we had a blowout
A 
someone always hit the jack
D 
A 
But the driver was a good old sport,
G 
he never dobbed on us
D 
G 
D 
Though we were holy terrors
A 
D 
on that old school bus
She had bought the old tyres,
A 
battered old grill,
G 
poured black smoke
D 
going up the hill
G 
D 
Rattled and roared like a hippopotamus
But we always had a bottle
A 
D 
on the old school bus
A 
And we were glad when it rained,
G 
we'd cheer and shout hooray
D 
G 
D 
The old bus would get bogged for sure,
there'd be no school today
A 
D 
A 
We used to reckon that was great,
G 
it never bothered us
D 
G 
But somehow she would struggle
D 
A 
D 
through the old school bus
On summer days
A 
G 
it used to be a hundred in the shade
D 
G 
D 
The old bus used to boil and steam,
A 
she couldn't make the grade
D 
A 
We'd have to stop while she cooled off,
G 
it never bothered us
D 
G 
D 
Cos we all reckoned she was cool,
A 
D 
the old school bus
She had baldy old tyres,
A 
battered old grill,
G 
poured black smoke
D 
going up the hill
G 
D 
Rattling roared like a hippopotamus,
but we always had a bottle
A 
D 
of the old school mush
A 
She was freezing in the wintertime,
G 
in summer hot as hell
D 
G 
D 
And every time she cornered
A 
all us kids would scream and yell
D 
A 
When we hit the gravel road
G 
D 
you couldn't see for dust
G 
Well, we were lucky
D 
A 
D 
we survived the old school bus
A 
And I wonder if she's still about,
G 
or just a rusty heap
D 
G 
One thing's for sure,
D 
A 
the memories are always there to keep
D 
A 
And all those years I went to school,
G 
I didn't learn too much
D 
G 
But I got an education
D 
A 
D 
on that old school bus
She had a on ties
A 
You it all brilled
G 
D 
Poor Black was not going up the hill
G 
D 
Rattling and roaring like a hippopotamus
But we always had a bounty
A 
D 
on the outskirt of Las
She had a bounty on ties
A 
You it all brilled
G 
D 
Poor Black was not going up the hill
G 
D 
Rattling and roaring like a hippopotamus
But we always had a ball
A 
D 
on the all -school bus
Yeah, we always had a ball
A 
D 
on the all -school bus
Yeah, we always had a ball
A 
on the all -school bus
