Lyrics

Night bus rolling, back seat crew
Tapping feet and dancing too
Driver winks and turns it up
Rattling windows, shaking cup

Night bus skank, hey, hey
Dance all the way, hey, hey
Night bus skank, hey, hey
Ding the bell, we dance away

Baker yawning, nurse in blue
Everybody dancing too
Round the corner, over the bridge
Swing those hips and tap those toes

Night bus skank, hey, hey
Dance all the way, hey, hey
Night bus skank, hey, hey
Ding the bell, we dance away

Stop by stop the dancers climb
Nobody's going home on time
Horns go up and rattle the glass
Dance, dance, let the night bus pass

Last stop coming, here we go
Step down gently, wave hello
Cold air waking sleepy heads
Ska still ringing in our heads

Night bus skank, hey, hey
Dance all the way, hey, hey
Night bus skank, hey, hey
Ding the bell, we dance away

Night bus skank
Ding!
