"Coach in the water"

From azlyrics.com and 20min.ch:

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
Sight seeing in our mobile
We didn't have much time
All the tourists with their cameras
Were at the best place around
Driver forgot the hand brake
And the bus kept rolling down...
Coach in the water, driver in the shite

They dived in and they pulled it out
It died with an awful sound
Funky Claude was running in and out
Helping them winch it back onto the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Coach in the water, driver in the shite

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But we did a roll call just outside
And had our picnic there
With a table cloth and a few old chairs
We made a place to sit
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Coach in the water, driver in the shite

If the last line was "Coach in the water, driver in the shite" it would scan better.

B, an excellent point well made. Duly updated.

Damn, now I have an earworm that will probably be with me for the rest of the day.
