• This contrafactum is to be about what it's like to work at Collins Bus, and perhaps the perks and benefits of being an employee there.

There ought to be two versions of this song.)
• This tune was thought up when I temped there through Manpower for 6 days. The movement of the buses through a self-propelled "assembly line" made me think of the song "It Was A Good Day" even though the days there were hardly good in my humble opinion.
