I'm just looking out the window and it's cold outside
00:11
There are two boys yelling behind me and I'm terrified
00:14
Counting trees as they pass me by
00:20
And I'm trying not to look across the aisle
00:22
'Cause Maya's letting Dan put his hand up her skirt
00:25
And she's got her hand down his pants
00:28
I know the driver sees it
00:32
I know he's peeking in the rearview mirror
00:35
He says nothing
00:40
Trying to ignore it, it's fucking boring
00:42
I'm quietly observing, I'm saying nothing
00:47
No one's watching us, don't give a fuck
00:52
Wheels on the bus
00:58
I'm holding it down, up in the front
01:02
Wheels on the bus
01:08
Ooh, ooh, ooh
01:12
Wheels on the bus
01:20
Now, I'ma light it up and pass it
01:26
Puff puff and pass it
01:28
Don't be a dick and babysit, c'mon, just pass it over here
01:30
Counting cars as they pass me by
01:35
And I'm trying not to look a row behind me
01:37
'Cause Jason's got his ass on the glass
01:40
And I hate him, driver hit a bump fast
01:42
I know the driver sees it
01:47
I know he's peeking in the rearview mirror
01:50
He says nothing
01:55
Trying to ignore it, it's fucking boring
01:57
I'm quietly observing, I'm saying nothing
02:02
No one's watching us, don't give a fuck
02:07
Wheels on the bus
02:13
I'm holding it down up in the front
02:17
Wheels on the bus
02:23
Ooh, ooh, ooh
02:27
Wheels on the bus
02:35
02:40
Ooh, ooh, oh, ooh
02:43
Wheels on the, on the bus
02:51
Ooh, ha, ooh, oh, ooh, ooh
02:54
Wheels on the bus
03:00
No one's watching us, don't give a fuck
03:05
Wheels on the bus
03:10
I'm holding it down up in the front
03:15
Wheels on the bus
03:20
Ooh (Wheels on the bus)
03:24
Ooh (Wheels on the bus)
03:27
Ooh
03:30
Wheels on the bus
03:33

[English]
I'm just looking out the window and it's cold outsideThere 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
Now, I'ma light it up and pass it
Puff puff and pass it
Don't be a dick and babysit, c'mon, just pass it over here
Counting cars as they pass me by
And I'm trying not to look a row behind me
'Cause Jason's got his ass on the glass
And I hate 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
