Ah, well, there's a story behind the song (as there always is...) C, [livejournal.com profile] clanwilliam, several others and I were at a pub quiz and we were asked the question "How many miles would a London bus travel around London on a full tank of petrol?"

We were the only team in the pub that got the answer right. And all because I remembered the song:
That thirty-foot long by ten-foot wide, Inside that monarch of the road, Observer of the highway code, The big six-wheeler, London transport, Diesel engine, Ninety-seven horsepower, Ninety-seven horsepower omnibus!
Why yes, the answer was "zero".
