If you miss me at the back of the bus 
You can't find me nowhere 
Oh come on over to the front of the bus 
Because I'll be riding up there 
I'll be riding up there, I'll be riding up there 
Come on over to the front of the bus 

Because I'll be riding up there 
If you miss me on the picket line 
You can't find me nowhere 
Come on over to the city jail 
Because I'll be rooming over there 

I'll be rooming over there 
I'll be rooming over there oh 
Come on over to the city jail 
Because I'll be rooming over there 
If you miss me at the Mississippi river 

You can't find me nowhere 
Come on over to the swimming pool 
Because I'll be swimming over there 
I'll be swimming over there, over there 
I'll be swimming right there 
Come on over to the swimming pool 

Because I'll be swimming over there 
If you miss me in the cotton fields 
You can't find me nowhere 
Come on over to the boating booth 
Because I'll be a boating right there 

I'll be boating right there, right there 
I'll be boating right there 
Well come on over to the boating booth 
Because I'll be boating right there
