Double Dutch Bus Lyrics

Give me a HO if you've got your funky bus fare... HO HO HO

There's a double dutch bus comin' down the street
Movin pretty fast
So kinda shuffle your feet
Get on the bus and pay your fare
And tell the driver that you're
Goin' to a Double Dutch Affair
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Well I'll be darn here it comes
The Double Dutch Bus is on the street
You'd better get off the curb
Move your feet

Bus fare trans-pass
That's the way my money lasts
Ain't got no car to get around
When I go to work I've gotta go downtown
Now I've missed my train
That's a darn shame
When I'm running late no sleep's to blame
If you've gotta wife you know I'm right
Gotta special man well I can understand
Uptown, downtown everybody's getting down
Say uptown say downtown
Well I've missed my bus I know I'm late
I've gotta do something I know I hate
I'm gonna walk to work fifteen blocks
I already got a hole in my socks
Go ahead and laugh that's okay
Cause what I really wanna say
I got bad feet my corns hurt
To top it off I'm lost for work
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
Let me show you how to walk
When I gotta do my funky walk
Let me tell you what I say
When I'm dealing with the funky sidewalk
I say sssssssss-sugar

Let me hear you say do the do
Let me hear you say do the do the do
Do the do, do do do do do

Frankie Smith is a funk musician and R&B/soul songwriter.


He was a writer for funk and soul artists such as the O'Jays and The Spinners. He has also been influential in the careers of the rappers Tone Lōc and Ice Cube.

With his 1981 single "Double Dutch Bus" released by WMOT Records, Smith popularized a nonsensical form of slang, in which "iz" is placed in the middle of a word (place becomes plizace) or the last letters of a word are replaced with "-izzle" (sure becomes shizzle). The style became part of hip-hop slang, and was popularized by rappers Snoop Dogg and E-40, and today holds a place in popular slang. "Double Dutch Bus" itself has been sampled frequently in hip-hop, including Snoop Dog's "Snoop Dogg (What's My Name, Pt. 2)" and Missy Elliott's "Gossip Folks", both records produced by Timbaland. He is currently working as a delivery driver for AC Reproductions in Philadelphia
