original broadway cast of pipe dream - a lopsided bus lyrics

Loading...

[mac]
what do you do all day, ray?
what do you do all day?

[ray]
i wake at six
and take my wife
her breakfast on a tray
i walk the kids to school
then i run to catch a bus—

[mac]
that’s the life for us, boys!

[men]
that’s the life for us!

[whitey, spoken]
then what, ray?

[george, spoken]
tell the boys, ray

[ray]
i work all day on an adding machine
adding the boss’s dough
at six o’clock i am back on a bus
back to my home i go
my supper i sup
i feel so beat up
i’m soon asleep in my bed

[mac]
when you grow old and die, ray
how will you know you’re dead?

[men]
when you grow old and die, ray
how will you know you’re dead?

[mac]
if you work like a horse ’til the day you’re dead
you’re a part of a horse
and it ain’t the head

[george]
this is the kind of a day i like
when questions of life arе philosophied
by thoughtful companions, sittin’ around
and gettin’ a little bit ossifiеd

[bill]
life is a bowlful of cherries—
[whitey]
except when the cherries ain’t there

[mac]
life is a room full of feathers
that keep getting in your hair

[bill]
you said it, mac

[alec]
you got it, mac

[ray]
you hit it right on the b+tton

[george]
we always keep goin’, but where do we go?

[bill]
what do we know?

[hazel]
nuttin’

[men]
on a lopsided, ramshackle bus
we ride from day to day
[mac]
we wobble around on a rock+happy road
and rattle along on our way

[men]
every year it’s a hassle for us
to get from june to may
but somehow or other, by hook or by crook
we rattle along on our way

[bill]
when the engine won’t work and it’s goin’ berserk
and we’re near the end of our rope
we fix up the thing with an old piece of string—

[hazel]
and our hearts get lousy with hope

[men]
we hop on our lopsided bus
and chase another day
as happy as candles that shine on a cake
as g+y as the bells on a sleigh!

we rattle along
rattle along
rattle along on our way
we rattle along
rattle along
and try to find our way
