Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Some talk of a Lagonda,
[A]some [D]like a [G]smart MG,
[D]Or for[Bm] Bonnie or [D]Millory,
[G]the[A]y'd lay[D] them dun[E]e and[A] dee.
Such means of [Em]locomotion
seem [Am]quite super[B]flu[Em]ous,
[A]For I am the [D]conductor
[Bb]of a L[A]ondon Omnibu[D]s
Hold [G]very [D]tight please, ting -ting
[G]Hold very [D]tight please, ting -ting
When [G]you are [D]lost in [G]London
[B]An d you [C]don't know [D]where you [G]are
You'll hear me [D]voice a [G]-calling
[Em]Pass [A]further down [D]the car
And very [C]soon you'll find your[C#dim]self
Inside [C]the [D]ter[E]minus
[D]In a [G]London Transport
diesel en[D]gine
97 horsepower omni[G]bus[Em][D]
[G]Along the Queen's Great Highway,
we [C]drive [D]a merry [G]load
At [C]20 [D]miles per [C]hour
[Em]in the [A]middle of the [D]road
We [C]like to drive in convoys,
we're [G]most gregari[E]ous
[D]The [G]big six -wheeler,
scarlet -painted, London
[D]Transport, [G]diesel [D]-edged
97 horsepower [G]om [D]nibus
[G]Earth [A]has not anything to sho[E]w more fair
Mind [Bm]the stair[E]s, mind [A]the stairs
Earth, there's not anything
[B]to [E]show more fair
Any more [B]fairs, any more fairs
When cabbies [Em]try to [E]pass us
before [A]they [B]over[E]take us
Me [B]driver sticks his [C#m]hand out
and jams on [B]all the brakes
Them [A]jackal [D]taxi [A]drivers
[Bbdim]can only [E]swear and cuss
[B]Me [E]on that monarch off the road,
observer [B]off the [E]highway
[B]that big [E]six -wheeler,
Scarlet Pony, London
Transport, Diesel, [A]Legend,
[E]97 horsepower, Omnibus
[E]I s[B]top[E] wh[F#]en we're requested,[Bm]
although [F#]it spoils the r[Bm]ide
So [E]I can shout, get out of it,
we're full right [A]up inside
[D]We [G]don't ask [D]much for [G]wages,
we [C]only [D]want fair [G]shares
So cut down [D]all the [Em]stages
and [A]stick up all the [D]fares
If [C]tickets cost a pound apiece,
[C#dim]why shouldn't[D] you make a fuss?[E]
[D]It's [G]worth it just to ride inside
that thirty foot long by ten foot wide
Inside that Monarch off the road,
Observer [D]off the [G]other way
[D]Code that big six wheeler,
[G]Scarlet [D]painted Lon[G]don
[D]Transport [G]diesel en[D]gine,
ninety -seven [G]horsepower
Ninety -seven horsepower on me [G]bus
Oh, very tight please!
