Singing to the Bus Driver
 |
Singing To the Bus Driver or Hail To the Bus Driver is an anonymous United States folk song dating to the mid-20th century. It is a popular children's song, particularly among pre-teens, and is often sung by children on school bus trips to keep themselves amused. It is sung to the tune of the traditional children's songs The More We Get Together and Did You Ever See A Lassie?, which in turn are derived from a 1679 Viennese tune by Marx Augustin, Oh du lieber Augustin.
Lyrics
[edit]- Hail to the bus driver,
- bus driver, bus driver,
- Hail to the bus driver,
- bus driver-man
- He screams and he cusses,
- He rams other buses.
- Hail to the bus driver,
- bus driver-man.
Another common variety is "hooray to the bus driver". The "bus driver man" can also be replaced by "bus driver girl" when needed.
