[Chorus]
Our bus rolls Don
To another town, a Gdifferent Dsong
And the audiences Gcome aDlong
To hear the music GplayEm  
So together we can Dwalk awhile
Bring your fiddle tune, Gdancing Dstyle
And we're ready for the Cweary Gmile
It's aAnother dayG  
[Verse]
APeggie on the bass with a Gsmiling face
He Cloves the Breton Gwaves
CNever more happy in the Gseaside air
With his Amsunburnt face, he Dplays
Simon picks such a Gcool guitar
From a CCalifornia Gmaker
He Ccame along for the Gvery first song
OAmriginal mover and Dshaker
[Chorus]
Our bus rolls Don
To another town, a Gdifferent Dsong
And the audiences Gcome aDlong
To hear the music GplayEm  
So together we can Dwalk awhile
Bring your fiddle tune, Gdancing Dstyle
And we're ready for the Cweary Gmile
It's aAnother dayG  
[Verse]
ARic's so hip, he's a Gfiddler fine
With Cbeautiful instruGmentals
He'll Ctake you to PortGmeirion
On the Amblack-and-white TV Drental
Gerry sits and Gkeeps the pace
His Cway is time and Ggroove
A Cgiant of perGcussive sound
His Amhands are always on the Dmove

To Cwrite a song or Gtwo
I Chave no fear when my Gfriends appear
It's Amall I want to Ddo
The time it goes and Gcomes around

Here's Cto the band called Gfamily
And Amthose blown off that Dmountain
