[00:00.00]A Transport Of Delight - Michael Flanders/Donald Swann
[01:39.84]Some talk of a lagonda
[01:42.67]Some like a smart MG
[01:45.91]Or for bonnie army lorry
[01:50.23]They'd lay them down and deep
[01:52.86]Such means of locomotion
[01:55.09]Seem rather dull to us
[01:57.94]The driver and conductor of a London omnibus
[02:03.41]Hold very tight clear is ting ting
[02:05.27]Hold very tight please ting ting
[02:07.12]When you are lost in London
[02:08.91]And you don't know where you are
[02:11.04]You'll hear my voice a calling
[02:12.87]Pass further down the car
[02:14.92]And very soon you'll find yourself
[02:17.50]Inside the terminus
[02:19.56]In a London transport diesel engined
[02:21.70]Ninety seven horsepower omnibus
[02:25.65]Along the queen's great highway
[02:27.59]I drive my merry load
[02:29.55]At twenty miles per hour
[02:31.49]In the middle of the road
[02:33.46]We like to drive in convoys
[02:35.68]We're most gregarious
[02:37.56]The big six wheeler
[02:38.70]Scarlet painted London transport diesel engined
[02:41.66]Ninety seven horse power omnibus
[02:45.50]Earth has not anything to show more fair
[02:48.54]Mind the stairs mind the stairs
[02:50.00]Mind the stairs mind the stairs
[02:52.22]Earth has not anything to show more fair
[02:55.07]Any more fares fares
[02:56.82]Any more fares fares
[02:58.86]When cabbies try to pass me
[03:01.00]Before they over takes
[03:02.62]I sticks me flipping hand out
[03:04.63]As I jams on all me brakes
[03:07.48]Them jackal taxi drivers
[03:09.66]Can only swear and cuss
[03:11.37]Behind that monarch of the road
[03:13.31]Observer of the highway code
[03:15.20]That big six wheeler
[03:16.10]Scarlet painted London transport
[03:18.05]Diesel engined
[03:19.04]Ninety seven horse power omnibus
[03:22.40]I stops when I'm requested
[03:24.64]Although it spoils the ride
[03:26.43]So we can shout get out of it
[03:28.27]We're full right up inside
[03:32.34]We don't ask much for wages
[03:34.39]We only want fair shares
[03:36.33]So cut down all the stages
[03:38.25]And sit down all the fares
[03:40.68]If tickets cost a pound a piece
[03:43.64]Why should you make a fuss
[03:45.67]It's worth it just to ride inside
[03:47.57]That thirty foot long by ten foot wide
[03:49.62]Inside that monarch of the road
[03:51.18]Observer of the highway code
[03:52.84]In a London transport diesel engined
[03:54.97]Ninety seven horse power
[03:56.77]Ninety seven horse power omnibus
[03:58.48]Hold very tight please
