TURNAROUND:  Play the following notes at the end
             of each verse:  D, C, B, A, G


[G]   We got the mother and the kids
      We got the guy and his date
      We all get mad, we all get late.
      Looks like somebody forgot about us,
      Standin' on the corner, waitin' for the 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.
[G]   My precious time keeps slippin' past.

[G]   Lets call the mayor, lets complain
      Looks like the city's done to us again
      Tied up in traffic, what do ya know
      The damn city bus moves so slow.

[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.
[G]   My precious time keeps slippin' past.
