*****
*** Verse 1 ***
(Lead) Take the National Express
When your life's in a mess
It'll make you smile...
All human life is here
From the feeble old dear
To the screaming child

*** Verse 2 ***
From the student who knows
That to have one of those
Would be suicide
To the family man
Manhandling the pram
With paternal pride

And everybody sings

*** Chorus 1 ***
(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Yeah

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Ah ha

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Alright

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) we're

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
Going...

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Where... the

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Air... is

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Free... yeah

*** Verse 3 ***
(Lead) On the National Express
There's a jolly hostess
Selling crisps and tea
She'll provide you with drinks
And theatrical winks
For a sky-high fee

*** Verse 4 ***
Mini-skirts were in style
When she danced down the aisle
Back in 63
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
But is hard to get by
When your arse is the size
Of a small country...

And everybody sings

*** Chorus 2 ***
(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Yeah

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Ah ha

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Alright

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) we're

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
Going...

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Where... the

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Air... is

(Grp) Ba ba ba da, ba da ba da
(Lead) Free...

*** Middle Section ***
(Grp) Tomorrow
(Lead) Tomorrow belongs to me
(Grp) It belongs to me

*** Bridge ***
(Spoken)When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on
(Lead) The National Express...
On the National Express...
Let's go

*** Gtro Solo ***

*** Outro ***
National Express, National Express...
