The Bus Stop Blues

At last I woke up early

And jumped out of my bed

I brushed my teeth and combed my hair

"I’m NOT late!" I said

I ran right past the kitchen

There’s no time to eat today

This is my chance to beat ‘em

Billy, Jack and Bobby Ray

I ran right out our old front door

And darted down the block

I get to be the first in line

Now THAT is quit a shock!

I made to the bus stop

Lots of time there was to spare

And I beat Bill, Bob and Jack

And no other kids were there!

I stood there all alone, you see

In the place we always wait

The one day that I’m early

The darn bus is running late

I’m really glad to be here

As I look up and down the street

I’ll be the first one on the bus!

I’ll have the bestest seat!

Seems that I’ve been here waiting

For an hour or maybe more

I laughed out loud, I’m happy

Billy’s coming out his door

Then he meets up with Jack and Bob

And much to my dismay

They’re riding on their skate boards

Oh my gosh! It’s Saturday!
