Outside another heavy shower just stopped
After soaking everybody in the neighbourhood
I don my newly ironed away top
And bolt some quickly microwaved food
The corpie bus is choc a bloc
Full of arguing couples giving each other gyp
While you are preparing for yet another away trip
You act so calm but inside you’ve got butterflies
You always get so nervous
You wish you’d not risked the frozen steak pies
Your iffy stomach resumes normal service
You wonder why you always put yourself through it
But deep down inside you know you love to do it
Chorus
Will I see you tonight on the supporters’ bus ?
Will you be ..much more than me... out of yer puss
On the supporters’ bus
Verse
I hit the shops and get some ciggies
And a cheeky 12 pack of lager
I open the packet and light a biggie
Through the rush hour shoppers I stagger
And watch them as they get increasingly annoyed
Bargains are so hard to find these days
Meanwhile I’m feeling buoyed
At the prospect of another of my club’s enthralling away displays
Chorus
Will I see you tonight on the supporters’ bus ?
Win or bust...victory’s a must
On the supporters’ bus
Will I see you tonight on the latest away trip
Last week’s a slip...just a blip
Its our latest away trip
Will I see you tonight for our latest away jaunt
A successful jaunt...that’s what we want
On our away jaunt
Will I see you tonight for our latest away trip
The championship...poke o’ chips
Yip..our latest away trip
