Hipsters and Squares
Part 8: The Trip

There’s no squares allowed on this trip, man, this is for hipsters only. This song brings us deep into the life of the hipster, showing us their home life, their social life, and what they do for fun. You’re either on the bus or you’re off the bus, baby.

Cast: Jim Henson (Jim), Jerry Nelson (Joe), Karen Prell and Kathy Mullen (Sally and Sue).

Jim

It was a morning, kinda cool,And there was nothin’ much to do.

The sun was shining high,

But I was feeling low.

I was sitting home alone,

Staring at the telephone,

Wondering where I could go.

Jim

Suddenly, the tele rang,And from my chair I sprang.

Quickly picked up the receiver

And I said, Hello?

Quite to my surprise,

I could clearly hear the vocalizing

Tones of my best friend Joe.

Jim

And he said:

Joe

Meet me at the bus stop,Down at the corner by the five and dime.

Meet me at the bus stop,

We’ll go have a good time.

Jim

At the bus stop,That’s where the bus stops.

You can get a ride almost anywhere.

At the bus stop,

That’s where the bus stops.

Joe

Hey, won’t you meet me down there.

Jim

Good idea, Joe!

Joe

You call Sally, I’ll call Sue.

Jim

We’ll grab a bus to the Central Park Zoo.

Joe

Hey, don’t delay, please do it right away,No need to sit home and feel blue.

Cause you can,

Joe & Jim

Meet me at the bus stop,Down at the corner by the five and dime.

Meet me at the bus stop,

We’ll go have a good time.

Jim

At the bus stop,That’s where the bus stops.

You can get a ride almost anywhere.

Joe

At the bus stop,That’s where the bus stops.

Hey, won’t you meet me down there.

Jim	Hey, won’t you meet me down there!
Girls	Hey, won’t you meet me down there!
Joe	Hi, Sally!
Jim	Hi, Sue!
Joe	Hey, won’t you meet me down there!
Joe	Yeah! Yeah, you look fine. Here we are at the bus station.
Sally	So this is the bus station!
Jim	Yeah, this is a great place!
Joe	Just wait for the bus, then we go to the zoo.
Sue	Where we goin’, anyway?
