Bus Stop Skank, Nobody Watching

Lyrics
Seven fifteen at the bus stop line Shoes are shined and I feel fine No one is looking, so I move my feet Tap on the pavement to the ska beat Lady with the shopping bag Smiles at me and starts to wag Her head goes nodding, her toes go too Now there's a whole queue dancing through Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Stand up tall and move your feet Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Walk on proud to the ska beat Driver pulls up, he gives a grin Opens the door and we all pile in Tickets in hand and a spring in the knee The morning belongs to you and me Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Stand up tall and move your feet Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Walk on proud to the ska beat Quiet pride in a Monday coat Horns in the heart and a song in the throat You don't need a stage, you don't need a crowd Just lift your chin and hold it proud Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Stand up tall and move your feet Skank at the bus stop, hey! Nobody watching, hey! Walk on proud to the ska beat Nobody watching, hey! Walk on proud, hey!
