Lyrics:
You take a bus marked “Lakewood Drive”
And you keep on ridin′ ’til you′re out of the city
Where the air is fine with the sweet smell of pine
And the countryside’s pretty
And you’ll see daffodils, peepin′ over the hill
Or a honey lovin′ mama bear
Just take a left at the bridge, go down to Quakertown Ridge
And in a minute you’re there
