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
Oh, Christmas crier bustin′ cane
He's in love again

Where dock worker'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
Oh, Rex said that lady left him limp
Love′s like that
Sure it is

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

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

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