Parking the bus

06/25/2026

In the context of the world cup..

An old Australia school chant, usually reserved for excursions or sports trips…

O, bus driver, speed up a little bit,
Speed up a little bit, speed up a little bit.
O, bus driver, speed up a little bit,
We want to get home!

It was often followed by:

O, bus driver, slow down a little bit,
Slow down a little bit, slow down a little bit.
O, bus driver, slow down a little bit,
We don’t want to die!

Now I’m thinking we could use this as a supporter chant for the Socceroos. Better than Aussie, Aussie, Aussie…
