Start Jamming...
We got the mother and the kids, we got the guy and his date.
We all getting mad, we all getting late.
Looks like somebody forgot about us.
Sitting [E] on the corner, waiting for a bus.
[C] Say hey Mr.
Driver Man, don't be slow,
[G] Cause I got somewhere I gotta go.
[C] Say hey Mr.
Driver Man, drive that thing fast.
[D] My precious time keeps [C] slipping [A] past.
[G] Let's call the mayor, let's complain.
Looks like the city's done to us again.
Tired of the [E] traffic, [G] what do you know?
[G] The damn city bus moves so [D] slow.

Hey, you're 65 cents, so you'll have to leave the bus.
No, you're kidding me, I just got it.
Please open up the back [G] door.
