Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
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
Yeah
Uh-huh
All right
We're going where the air is free
[Verse 2]
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
Mini-skirts were in style when she dance down the aisle
Back in sixty-three
But it's hard to get by when your arse is the size
Of a small country, and everybody sings
Yeah
Uh-huh
All right
We're going where the air is free
Tomorrow belongs to me
[Verse 3]
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National Express
On the National Express, let's go
[Verse 4]
