National Express

Take the National Express when your life's in a mess, it willmake you smile..
All human life is here, from the feeble old dear to the screamingchild..
From the student who knows, that to have one of those, would besuicide,
To the family man, manhandling the pram with paternal pride
And everyone sings.. Yeah.. uh huh... alright...
we're going where the air, is free...
On the National Express there's a jolly hostess, selling crispsand tea
She'll provide you with drinks and theatrical winks, for a skyhigh fee..
Mini skirts were in style when she danced in the aisle, back in63
But it's hard to get by, when your arse is the size of a smallcountry..
And everyone sings.. Yeah.. uh huh.. alright..
we're going where the air, is free...
Tomorrow belongs to me.. When you're sad and feeling blue, withnothing better to do,
just don't sit there feeling stressed, take a trip on theNATIONAL EXPRESS..
On the National Express..
Let's go!..
