Runaway Wheeling Hound

A hound bus in the maintenance garage But it was the thief thinking in his own barrage When the workers weren’t around The Thief stole the bus without making any sound The Hound’s slogan, “Leave the Driving to us” The Thief’s slogan, “Steal the Hound Bus being a must” That is just what happened Hound bus 7888 was driven from the yard onto New Jersey Turnpike I-95 bound for anywhere The Thief’s thought, I-95 was my escape route with no jive Yet Helicopter Newscast were reporting high above I-95 The Hound bus was chased entire length of the turnpike But if the NJ Turnpike Police don’t act quick, the Hound Bus could cross the Pennsylvania state line The Thief knew how to drive that Hound bus, I guess in his prior life, the Thief was part of the company’s us Yet the chase continued to go on, but not until the Hound bus ran out of gas The Thief’s driving fast that didn’t last Well the Thief forgot the gas tank up The Thief became his own Maxwell house to a finished cup A Hound bus having its own bite in crime But justice was served with the Thief doing time.
