lyrics

Bus to Dundas
by Barry Dickins with Danny Walsh and Emma Peel

Get on the bus
Get on the bus,
Get on the bus
To Dundas!

Abandoning Keon Park
In the intricate dark
The old bus went to Dundas Street
I still see the bunion feet
In the melancholy
People wet without a brolly
Up chugged the asthmatic bus
Driven by an apprentice
10 folks on it
We stop, more hop on
Up the back a man named Jack
Making out he’s got a heart attack

Git on!
(Get on the bus!)
Git on
(to Dundas!)

A couple of farmers sound asleep
Chewin' garlic, make you weep
Sitting next to barrels of milk
We ner’more see their ilk
Four miles of ruthless quag
Half way down a couple of hogs
their blonde eyelashes
Fluttering at 2 swaggies ‘taches
all the hogs, and thru the bogs
The gears got caught up in their cogs
And the young driver had to double clutch
Yeh I don’t like his chances much

Git on...!

At last he got off the mud
veering right off Cheddar Road
Lightning comes and so does thunder
On the bitumen we rumbles
There’s a farmer with a goose
Sleeping under paper news
a soldier with the horrors
He’s been on the bus for hours!
Snoozing on me father;s arm
As we sail past the lit-up farm
And past where they sell the ice
In great big blocks it looks so nice!

A bob it cost to get the ice
you whack a bob in once or twice
A glittering block comes out
On your toes it lands, you shout!
Exhausted Ancient warrior
Down High street where it’s stonier
Swish puddles so enormous
The drunk, he says ‘Tremendous!’
It stops for once at Bell St
The dairy farmers to their feet
Roll their bottles down the aisle
In Bell st where they smoke a while
We’re heading now to Dundas street...

Dad wakes me from me sleep..
And the driver said..
..Git off!

Get off the bus
Get off he bus,
Get off the bus
at Dundas!

Git on...! etc.
