WE MUSTN'T MISS THE LAST BUS HOME
(Noel Gay / Ralph Butler 1942)

as recorded by Betty Driver 1942

also recorded by Billy Cotton & his Band


Oh what a wonderful party,
Lots of joy and fun,
But if we miss the last bus home,
We're absolutely done!

We mustn't miss the last bus home,
No, we mustn't miss the last bus home!
The lady conductor gave the warning,
There won't be another till the morning!

We mustn't miss the last bus home,
'Cause it's a long long way to roam!
Toodle-oo, toodle-oo,
Take your places in the queue,
We mustn't miss the last bus home!

Oh what a pity we're parting,
Soon we'll meet again.
Let's all if us
Upon the bus
Sing one more refrain.

No, we mustn't miss the last bus home,
No, we mustn't miss the last bus home!
The lady conductor gave the warning,
There won't be another till the morning!

We mustn't miss the last bus home,
'Cause it's a long long way to roam!
Hurry up, drink it down,
No more "Knees Up Mother Brown",
We mustn't miss the last bus home!

We mustn't miss the last bus home,
'Cause it's a long long way to roam!
Pack it up, stop your lark,
Go the rumpus in the park,
We mustn't miss the last bus home!
