Does anyone have the words to Brian Cant's poem Pimpernel Petroleum?

Answer 1

Pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus. Who doesnt care for travelling from Glasgow to luss. Pop goes her engine crunch go her gears. her passengers are sitting with their fingers in their ears. Pimpernel petroleum loves to make a fuss cos pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus.

Her driver Percy poddle is a kind wee man who talks to her politely as often as he can. Hes careful with her steering wheel and gentle with her brake and whispers to her pimpernel be good for goodness sake.but pimpernel petroleum loves to make a fuss cos pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus.

pimpernels conductress, miss fanny freda frisk is exceedingly efficient but very bright and brisk. she said we've had enough of this sentimental stuff, what pimpernel is needing is a driver who is rough. but driver Percy poddle is a kind wee man who talks to her politely as often as he can. he's careful with her steering wheel and gentle with her brake and whispers to her pimpernel be good for goodness sake but pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus who doesnt care for travelling from Glasgow to luss. pop goes her engine crunch go her gears, her passengers are sitting with their fingers in their ears. pimpernel petroleum loves to make a fuss cos pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus.

one morning at the corner pimpernel stuck. perhaps it was on purpose perhaps it was bad luck. sat across the roadway wheels upon the grass. lots of cars were coming but not a thing could pass. pimpernels conductress miss fanny freda frisk was exceedingly efficient but verry bright and brisk said, we've had enough of this sentimental stuff what pimpernel is needing is a driver who is rough. but driver Percy poddle is a kind wee man ho talks to her as often as he can. he's careful with her steering wheel and gentle with her brake. and whispers to her pimpernel be good for goodness sake. but pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus. who doesn't care for travelling from Glasgow to luss. pops goes her engine crunch go her gears. her passengers are sitting with their fingers in their ears. pimpernel petroleum loves to make a fuss cos pimpernel petroleum is a bold bad bus. (sorry i can't remember any more except that there is a brand new yellow bus involved somewhere. i hope someone else can fill in the rest of it)
