1. THE COACH TOUR

 

“EYES ALL TO THE LEFT PLEASE,

EYES ALL TO THE RIGHT”

AND STILL THE COACH JUST TRUNDLED ON

PAST ANOTHER SIGHT.

“THIS IS WHERE THE HERO LIVED,

AND THIS IS WHERE HE DIED”

STILL THEY HARDLY GOT TO SEE

NO MATTER HOW THEY TRIED.

“THERE’S ANOTHER SITE FOLKS

SOMETHING ELSE TO SEE,

GOT TO KEEP ON MOVING,

IT’S ALMOST HALF PAST THREE.

WE HAVEN’T TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHS

THERE’S STILL A LOT TO DO,

I KNEW I SHOULDN’T LET YOU STOP

AT JUST TURNED HALF PAST TWO”

“EYES ALL TO THE LEFT PLEASE,

EYES ALL TO THE RIGHT,

WE HAVE A LOT MORE THINGS TO SEE

BEFORE DAY TURNS TO NIGHT”

“YOU HAVE TO SEE THE SIGHTS FOLKS

SO PLEASE DO AS I SAY,

I’VE GOT MY LIST TO FOLLOW

EACH AND EVERY DAY.

I MUSTN’T MISS A THING OUT,

YOU HAVE TO SEE IT ALL,

AND HERE WE ARE AT LAST PLEASE

OUR FINAL PORT OF CALL.

WE HAVEN’T TIME FOR PHOTOGRAPHS,

WE HAVE TO GET ON BACK,

DON’T GET OFF THE COACH PLEASE

YOU’LL ALL GET ME THE SACK,

DO GET ON THE COACH PLEASE

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO?

DON’T GET ON THE TRAIN THERE

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

PLEASE GET ON THE COACH FOLKS

DO NOT WAVE GOODBYE,

I TRY TO DO MY JOB WELL

HONESTLY – I TRY!”
