TM Travel Tango
Comedy parody song on a bustling bus route with Benjamin Oscar Oliver in charge. Tango-style rhythm with violin, accordion, double bass, brushed drums, and trombone. Humor about big bus pride, strict pass checks, and timetable obsession.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Heel-click swagger at the depot door
Clipboard clutched like sacred law
“Good morning
Sinners of the schedule board
You’re two breaths late
I saw” (ah-ah!)
Ticket machine gets nervous sweats
When he scans your pass
It confesses regrets
He straightens timetables in alphabetic sets
Color-coded
Laminated threats
[Chorus]
This is the Benjamin Oscar Oliver big bus tango
Tap your pass on the beat
Ahora
Vamos
If you’re one tick late
He sighs in perfect time
“My friend
The timetable is my borderline” (hey!)
He spins his watch like a bandoneón
Big bus pride and the meters roll on
Olé for the timetable king
B.O.O. in charge
On the bustling route
His ego’s extra-large
[Verse 2]
“Step inside
Stand clear
Form a disciplined snake
No freestyle lines
That’s a civil mistake”
He salutes the bus like a shiny parade
Polishing the logo with a pocket hand-made (oh-ho!)
Front-row seat is his private throne
Reserved for his binder and a traffic cone
He flirts with the mirror at every stop
“Who’s the prettiest route manager on this block?”
[Chorus]
This is the Benjamin Oscar Oliver big bus tango
Tap your pass on the beat
Ahora
Vamos
If you’re one tick late
He sighs in perfect time
“My friend
The timetable is my borderline” (hey!)
He spins his watch like a bandoneón
Big bus pride and the meters roll on
Olé for the timetable king
B.O.O. in charge
On the bustling route
His ego’s extra-large
[Bridge]
[Violin and accordion trade a mock-dramatic solo
Trombone answers with comic slides]
Announcement voice
Over-enunciated charm
“Madam
That pass expired… last March” (oh no!)
He dips
You trip
He catches your arm
“To break the schedule is to break my heart”
[Chorus]
This is the Benjamin Oscar Oliver big bus tango
Tap your pass on the beat
Ahora
Vamos
If you’re one tick late
He sighs in perfect time
“My friend
The timetable is my borderline” (hey!)
He spins his watch like a bandoneón
Big bus pride and the meters roll on
Olé for the timetable king
Bow to the chart
On the bustling bus he’s the guardian of the depart (olé!)
