A Bus for a Bus on the Bus Lyrics

I cannot cannot play today
My mummy said something in his face
I wanna try my action man
But I got to service space

Doesn't set the tower clean
Stand aside forever Rrrrr
Rrr Rhyme it rhyme it up to me
Cos my name is Simon

I cannot cannot play today
My Mummy says it is squeak
I wanna try to learn to speak
Blurta..ba..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The above is wrong. Sorry. It should be:-

I cannot come and play today My mummy says I'm in disgrace I wanna enjoy my Action Man But I am stuck inside this place

Incarcerated I will be Trapped inside forever Everybody laughs at me Because my name is Simon

I cannot come and play today My mummy says I'm in disgrace I wanna enjoy my Action Man But I am stuck inside this place
