Lyrics
- Seymour Skinner:
- Ba-bum, bum bum.
- The Be Sharps:
- Baby on board, how I've adored
- That sign on my car's windowpane.
- Bounce in my step,
- Loaded with pep,
- 'Cause I'm driving in the carpool lane.
- Call me a square,
- Friend, I don't care.
- That little yellow sign can't be ignored.
- I'm telling you it's mighty nice.
- Each trip's a trip to paradise
- With my baby on board!
