	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
