Verse 1
G 
Uncle B  (G major) .S. where were you December
1955?
City bus driver, Montgomery,
Alabama.
Wrestling a steering wheel
trying to get a 14 -year -old
to turn Elvis down
so I could figure out how many black
people
I can squeeze on
and still have room up front
for the white folks.
Best -looking woman in North America
crawls on my bus.
Prop -side hair,
C 
legs up  (C major) to her hind end,
G 
 (G major) 40 -day cup staring me right
square in the eye.
but I'm hoping she'll sit in the third
Bb 
G 
seat from the  (B flat major) front, my eyeballing  (G major) seat.
C 
 (C major) I look up in the rear view mirror,
G 
damn if  (G major) Rosa Parks ain't in my eyeballing
seat.
I can sit here and look at Rosa
for the next 15 miles
or get her to get up
and give Miss
Nude Alabama her seat.
Rosa knows I ain't had a date in six
months.
Picks today to turn into a
civil rights martyr.
Just goes to show every time
I see a good looking woman,
somebody makes a federal case
out of it.
Yeah! Yeah!
