Every day along the streets of mighty London Town

Nine hundred omnibuses rumble up and down. / When you're tired of walking, call "Hi! Conductor, stop!" / And he'll give you such a jolly ride, for twopence, on the top.

Sometimes by the 'bus's side small boys will run a mile, / Turning round just like the wheels, and hungry all the while: / "We've not had any breakfast, -- won't you toss us down a brown?" -- / That's what they call a penny in the streets of London Town.
