Flight of the Conchords - Bus driver's song

^F"G'day, my name's Tony ^GmOn behalf of myself and the coachline, I'd like to thank you for choosing to drive with us ^BbI'm a local, I hope I can impart some ^Alocal knowledge. If you've got any questions don't hesitate, just sing out ^FFor those who are interested, there's the Old ^GmBridge, swaying away Replaced by the New ^BbBridge in 1972 ^AFunny thing, the Old Bridge used to be called the New Bridge ^F Yeah, bit of a funny thing there Up ahead there's the bronze of Bluey. A ^Gmlocal sheepdog, who became a member of Regional Council ^BbIt was a bloody great day for dogs, not just here, ^Abut everywhere in the North Island ^F Here's the town's oldest street, and ^Gmover there's the Museum of Meat. ^BbThat's the town's largest industry That's the sock factory, ^Ahence the giant sock"

^FThe town hall. Note the mos^Gmaic wall. Well, there are ^Bb5, 600 tiles on that wall ^AI know, I counted them all ^FThe local school, the ^Gmlocal swimming pool ^BbWhich was opened by the Governor General, ^Aback in 1952 ^Cm…Where I was caught with a friend age ^D11 sniffing tractor^A fuel ^EWe thought we were pretty cool breaking them changing shed rules ^FBut do you see up there? The ban^Gmner hanging in the air ^BbThe Presbyterian fair, well I never^A go, there’s too many Presbyterians there ^GmBut if you’re interested, the fair’s in t^Che third weekend of August every year ^GmBut don’t bother entering the raffle, it’s always won by so^Cme kid of the Mayor ^FOh do you hear that sound? The town clock h^Gmeard from anywhere in town ^BbUntil 1960, there was a little place in Nor^Away, we bought it for a hundred pounds. ^CmRumor has it they sold it cheap because the c^Dhimes were too ^Aloud ^EBut every time I hear that sound it makes me so proud

^CLook to your left, what a ^Ebeautiful sight ^FIt’s Paula, Paula Thompson, n^Eee Paula Wright ^CLook at her hair, it’s still ^Egorgeous even now ^FFlowing like the Womahonga river, which i^Encidentally is to your right ^CAnd is the largest in the area, in t^Eerms of volume Every^Fbody look at Paula, ^ELook at Paula Thompson ^FI always thought I’d marry ^AmPaula, but some things just don’t ^Ework out that way ^FWell that’s the most important thing you’ll ^Gmlearn on the tour today ^BbThat and the fact that there’ll be a toilet break at the ^Ainformation center near the mermaid lake

^F"Yeah, I'll just ask you one favor ^GmIf you do see Paula in town later on ^BbI'd appreciate that you don't mention the details of the ^Atour to her ^FSame goes for my wife, Gloria ^GmYou'll recognize her. She looks a ^Bbhell of a lot like Paula, actually ^AShe often gets mistaken for Paula, but, well, she's not Paula, that's for sure, no" ^CPaula ^EThompson born in ’54, to ^Fa family ^Eof four ^F To the f^Eamily next d^Foor, take me^E back nex^Ct door ^CPaula ^EThompson nee Paula Wright,^F that’s her old house ^Eup at 39 F ^ENumber 41 was ^Fmine, if this old ^Ecoach could go back in ^Dmtime I’d drive to 19^D79
