Omnibus Lyrics - Andy Partridge

Climb up here beside me 

We can ride and find a friend unfound 

Put your foot upon the laughing gas 

And drive your grin around 

Omnibus, take all of us 

All of us, take Omnibus 

Ain't nothing in the world like a white skinned girl 

Make your Union Jack and make your flag unfurl 

You can't say you've ridden 

'Till you've given up your heart and seat 

Man that lady clippie rip your ticket 

Make your trip complete 

Omnibus, take all of us 

All of us, take Omnibus 

Ain't nothing in the world like a black skinned girl 

Make your shakespeare hard and make your oyster pearl 

Don't let horses pass you by 

Take a run and leap on 

Pull the blinkers from your eyes 

Before big bus has gone 

We'll be stopping off 

In every shop until you find that mate 

Don't waste time, go on and taste them all 

Why don't you fill your plate? 

Omnibus, take all of us 

All of us, take Omnibus 

There's nothing in the world like a gold skinned girl 

To make your bonsai weep and make your bamboo curl 

Omnibus, take all of us 

All of us, take Omnibus 

Omnibus, take all of us 

All of us, take Omnibus 

Ain't nothing in the world like a green skinned girl 

But that don't mean to say you can't look
