[verse 1]
Our city is improving, it's surely doing fine,
No waiting on the corners now we take the Jitney line
No standing at the crossings to hear the people cuss,
We smile so sweet when we take a seat in the jaunty Jitney Bus.

[chorus]
Up and down the streets they go with a push and with a rush
Never stop for rain or snow, through the mud and through the slush.
Jitney, Jitney, Jitney Bus!
Don't you fret nor don't you cuss,
Jitney Jitney Jitney Bus

verse 2]
I waited long and patient to sing this merry song
Farewell now old electric line with impositions strong.
You've had your way, you've had your sway and without further fuss,
We greet the day when it came to stay that Jaunty Jitney Bus.

[repeat chorus]
