Can you believe it?
One hour from Battersea to Thornton Heath
Two hours from Brixton to Hampstead Heath
Three hours from Barking to Bexleyheath
Forty minutes from Borough to Lambeth North
And from Chelsea to Chiswick it takes ages
While from Camden to Clapham Common takes till thy kingdom come
Is it now a crime to travel on London Buses?
They will take full fare and would never ever think of giving a free ride
And then take ages to crawl from one place to another
Like a snail crawling from Hackney to Haringey
Woe betide you!
If you ever jump on one of them bendy buses without your oyster
They will quickly slap a 25 pound fine on you
That is if you pay within 21 days or 50 pounds after 21 days
Otherwise you would be disgracefully dragged before the magistrate
But they will never ever think of compensating you
When they take ages to get to your destination
In those appalling buses always overcrowded with passengers
OMG!
Passengers facing each other like slaves in a slave ship and stinking of odours
Oozing out of the stinking body of homeless boozy passengers
Who converted them buses into their homes
With their smelly bodies testifying that they have not showered for ages
Terrible buses that could give you a myocardial infarction
Very cold during the winter and very hot during the summer
And yet we are still expected to fork out our fortune
To pay for the poor miserable service
And expected to be smiling all through!
