I'm just looking out the window and it's cold outside

There are two boys yelling behind me and I'm terrified

Counting trees as they pass me by

And I'm trying not to look across the aisle

'Cause Maya's letting Dan put his hand up her skirt

And she's got her hand down his pants

 

I know the driver sees it

I know he's peeking in the rearview mirror

He says nothing

Trying to ignore it, it's fucking boring

I'm quietly observing

I'm saying nothing

 

No one's watching us, don't give a fuck

Wheels on the bus

I'm holding it down up in the front

Wheels on the bus

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Wheels on the bus

 

Well, I'ma light it up and pass it

Puff, puff, and pass it

Don't be a dick and baby say: Come on, just pass it over here

Counting cars as they pass me by

And I'm trying not to look at all behind me

'Cause Jason's got his ass on the glass

And I hate it him, driver hit a bump fast

 

I know the driver sees it

I know he's peeking in the rearview mirror

He says nothing

Trying to ignore it, it's fucking boring

I'm quietly observing

I'm saying nothing

 

No one's watching us, don't give a fuck

Wheels on the bus

I'm holding it down up in the front

Wheels on the bus

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Wheels on the bus

 

Ooh, ooh oh, ooh

Wheels on the, on the bus

Ooh, ha ooh oh, ooh, ooh

Wheels on the bus

 

No one's watching us, don't give a fuck

Wheels on the bus

I'm holding it down up in the front

Wheels on the bus

 

Ooh, wheels on the bus

Ooh, wheels on the bus

Ooh, wheels on the bus.
