Them's the singular pipes of Mr. Jonathan Richman, of Modern Lovers fame. You may remember him (not) calling Pablo Picasso an asshole, on the Repo Man soundtrack.

"You're Crazy for Taking the Bus" Jonathan Goes Country (1990) Well, a welfare gal and her drunk galoot And no one wearing a three piece suit You meet folks this way you just don't see while flyin So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

Well, welfare gal and her drunkin cuss And Pepsi cans rolling around the bus That newspaper's a Grit and you've got slime So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

Where it's Salt Lake City everybody off Salt Lake City everybody off With Elko Welles and Reno down the line So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time But Jonathan...

You're crazy for taking the bus Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss Two whole days on that stinking bus Yes and I sleep fine So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time. Go Donnie, tell 'em.

Look at it this way... They don't want my name, and I don't want their baggage claim My guitar is seated right where I am So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time

Well you got the old fat guy in his old tank top The Wendover casino stop And then of course Winnemucca and Welles and Anaheim So you take the plane and I'll take the bus this time.

And it's Salt Lake City everybody off Salt Lake City everybody off With Elko Welles and Reno down the line So you take the plane, I'll take the bus this time But Jonathan...

You're crazy for taking the bus Well, I'm crazy, so what's the fuss Two whole days on that stinking bus Yeah and I sleep fine So you take the plane but I'll take the bus this time.
