Waiting for the Bus Lyrics
It's boring, waiting for the bus,
it's boring, we never make a fuss,
but it's boring, (I'm snoring)
waiting for the bus, zzzz
We could be out on an excursion to the zoo or gallery,
Or playing in the finals we'll be Premiers in Grade B,
we could be singing in the Opera House
or playing in the band,
but we ain't going nowhere
on the footpath here we stand!
And it's so boring waiting for the bus,
it's boring, we never make a fuss,
but it's boring, (I'm snoring) zzzz
waiting for the bus.
We could be sailing round the harbour
in a ship like Captain Cook,
or checking out the library to find that special book,
we might be visiting an old folks' home to try and lend a hand,
but we ain't going nowhere on the footpath here we stand!
(whistle blow, voice over,)
"Right you kids, line up here comes the bus at last,
stop shoving Natasha, we'll all get on!"
Teaching Ideas
Write about the last excursion you went on.
Tell you you travelled there. What is your favourite way
of travelling.
Tell about the excursion of your dreams.
Paint a picture of it.
Plan an excursion with a friend.
Make sure you look at time, cost and mode
of transport.
Present it to the class.

Production Tips
Act out the whole song.
One person could sing as a solo
while the class mimes it.
Then reverse.
How do you show "boredom?"
Have a bus driver arrive and mime
getting on and cheering up.
