Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street? Songtext
von Bruce Springsteen

Hey, bus driver, keep the change
Bless your children, give them names
Don′t trust men who walk with canes
Drink this and you'll grow wings on your feet

Broadway Mary, Joan Fontaine
Advertiser on a downtown train
Christmas crier busting cane
He′s in love again

Where dockworker's dreams mix with panther's schemes
To someday own the rodeo
Tainted women in VistaVision
Perform for out-of-state kids at the late show


Wizard imps and sweat sock pimps
Interstellar mongrel nymphs
Rex said that lady left him limp
All love′s like that

Oh, Queen of Diamonds, Ace of Spades
Newly discovered lovers of the Everglades
Take out a full page ad in the trades
To announce their arrival

Mary Lou found out how to cope
She rides to heaven on a gyroscope
The Daily News asks her for the dope
She said, "Man, the dope′s that there's still hope"

There′s one out there

Señorita, Spanish rose
Wipes her eyes and blows her nose
Uptown in Harlem, she throws a rose
To some lucky young matador
