THERE'S ANOTHER ONE BEHIND
(Myles Rudge / Ted Dicks)


Lance Percival - 1965





I'm sorry, this bus is full right up.......Git orf!

There's another one behind, another behind
Who'll happily transport you to the place you have in mind
I've fourteen standing down below and upstairs even more
If anybody else goes up there, they'll all be through the floor

There's another one behind, another behind
Providing that its driver hasn't recently resigned
I can't say I blame him, the job's an uphill grind
So, clear off mate, you're gonna have to wait for the other one behind

So, what I'd do if I were you is form a little queue and wait
And if the one behind don't stop because he's running late

There's another one behind, another behind
Their conductor can't speak English, but his manner's are most refined
If you get abusive, you'll very likely find that before you're done
You'll get a fourpenny one and another one behind

Oh, if you ask me there's gonna be a very nasty free-for-all
Who'd be a public servant, it drives you up the wall

There's another one behind, behind the one behind
And don't tell me it's raining 'cause that's your 'ard luck, not mine
It's no use beggin' on your knees and offering double fares
We've already two alsatians (woof! woof!) sittin' on the stairs

There's another one behind and probably you'll find
Another one behind the one behind the one behind
But in view of where you're going, to be absolutely blunt
You'd be out of your mind to get the one behind
'Cause the bus you need is in front!

Any more fares please!
