I've got it! (Got what?)
Got this bus, London Transport said, "OK"
(OK? OK to what?)
OK to use this bus for transport on our holiday
They're with it. (With what?)
With the plan that I have landed them today
(What plan?) (That's right, what plan?)
If we can do it once, they'll back us all the way
7 Days to a holiday and there's such a lot to do
Come on fellas, it's up to you
We're in an awful stew
Get us out of this spot
Are you with us, or not?
6 Days to a holiday, and this bus must look like new
Shiny bright as a birthday gift. Give it a real face-lift
And its body the sheen, of a top beauty queen
5 More days, just 5 more days
To fix up dozens of things
Let's spring-clean it, from front to rear
(Yes, I've cleaned all the springs!)
4 Days to a holiday and we know before we're through
Our bus will be safer than any bank
Tough as an army tank
We will check everywhere, though it's hard to get there
3 Days to a holiday and those sunny skies of blue
By the time that it leaves our shed
Our bus will be bright red
And we know that we will...
(...paint Pa-ree redder still!
Voilà!)
2 Days to a holiday, all of the inside to do
So this old London bus can pass, as a hotel first class
We'll make everything fit
Including...(Ah, yes, that's it)
1 More day, just one more day
So we must not waste an hour
Come on let's get the plumbing in
(Cor, blimey...what a shower!
Off we go on our holiday, and it's you we have to thank...
"Fellas, I cannot thank you enough for helping us with our bus"
