As Boris bumbles on about his bus building hobby, we look back at a time when bendy buses were all the rage…

 

One of the best sights on a London street today
Is an elongated vehicle that likes to bend both ways
But what we would like to hear so that it can warn us
Is the sound of an accordion when it goes round corners

Oh bendy, bendy, bendy, bendy ,bendy bus
You are very trendy and so say all of us
Please sign the petition
Oh it would be such bliss
If every time you turned a corner it sounded like this…

Oh bendy, bendy, bendy, bendy ,bendy bus
You’re not very good at going in reverse
Please sign the petition
Oh it would be such bliss
If every time it turned a corner it sounded like this…
