No matter just how hard I try
The breaks in life all pass me by
I see a pound note in the street
I pick it up - it's counterfeit

I miss the bus
I miss the bus

I did my football polls one day
Forgot to mail them right away
Two hundred thousands pound a check
Yes, I had everyone correct

I miss the bus
I miss the bus

The greatest moment of my life
To make the girl I love my wife
But while I overslept in bed
She married someone else instead

I miss the bus
I miss the bus

Once when I was so down and out
They jailed me as a lay above
Two week to sleep I found a place
Until the judge dismissed the case

For lady luck it seems to be
Just hates the very site of me
For some a bed of roses is red
For me a hole right in the head

I miss the bus
I miss the bus

I got myself a swell guitar
And dreamed to be a big pop star
Created rock-and-roll in song
But Elvis Presley came along

No matter just how hard I try
I loose the bus until I die
But up on my funeral day
Let's hope things go the usual way

And I'll miss the bus
I'll miss the bus

I miss the bus
I miss the bus
I miss the bus
I miss the bus

I miss the bus
I miss the bus
