    A song about making the most of the otherwise wasted time in life.
    CD: Novelties   Label: Pubsal Productions
    Credits: Music and Lyrics by Darren Zieger

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written with a particular performer in mind, a theater friend named Maureen Carlin. It's inspired by her personality, but is not directly about her. Another inspiration for the song was an old monologue by comedian George Carlin (no relation, as far as I know) about fun things to do to fill up life's little interims.

    Lyrics
    I drop in my exact change
    It goes clink
    I take a seat in the back
    A woman looks at me strange
    I don't care what she thinks

    I am wearing my bright colors today
    I am wearing my Minnie Mouse sunglasses
    I start to practice out loud
    Some lines from a play
    Everybody looks and then looks away

    Then I get to my song
    I say folks sing along

    Fun on the bus
    These are some ways you can have
    Fun on the bus
    Or in a waiting room
    Or in a bank line
    Otherwise you're just wasting time
    Why not tapdance in the elevator?
    It's all wasted time
    And sooner or later
    It adds up to a lot of your life

    There is woman across from me
    She is looking out the window
    I count the colors in her hat
    She looks at me and I wave
    She doesn't know what to do about that

    I say goodbye to her
    As she gets off at her stop
    I greet the new people
    I am leader of the bus
    I practice my monologue

    Fun on the bus
    There are so many ways you can have
    Fun on a bus
    Or in a phone booth
    Or during a moment of silence
    Otherwise you're just wasting time
    Why not run up the down escalator?
    It's all wasted time and sooner or later
    It adds up to a lot of your life
