In...an age...when peeeeeople say,..."I...can't face...another day."



A fourpenny bus ride can take

one hour away

out of his life

'Cause Johnny's a worker;

he works from nine to five

and home to the wife



From his boring day

he is far away...



The same little bus ride

provides him with a way

to face his day

From Tooting to Chiswick,

his mind is free to roam

far from his home



In the land of smiles

he rides for miles and miles...



He looks out the window

and dreams of days in the past

he knew wouldn't last

The standing conductor is there,

asks him for his fare

and gives him a stare



Millions every day

have to get away...



So take a fourpenny bus ride to where

people don't stare

or get in your hair

There' a million and one things to be

when you learn how

to be free



Living day to day,

each must find his way...
