Okay I know Firesign Theater's albums well but I don't recall a musical version of We're All Bozos on This Bus.
UhClem for President.

The line was taken from the song "Bozos" by the band the Levellers.
A sort of folk-punk outfit here in the UK. I've got a version of it on their best of album, One Way Of Life.

Ah I see. Have you heard the Firesign Theater comedy album? They are a U.S. troop and it is interesting that they ended up referenced by a UK group.

Oh. The Firesign album is from the early 70's when was the Levellers song recorded?

Ah the levellers did their song in the 90's (or early this century). I've not heard of the firesign theater.
The lyrics for the first verse are:
Don't move too fast you might end up in the gutter
Your feet are steel but your footprints are butter
Well I swore from the day that I was twenty two
That I'd never drink another can of special brew
And the chorus goes:
Well there's really no need to make a fuss
There's really no need cos we're all Bozos on this bus
I just chose the bozo's line as it seemed appropriate when other lyrics had been referencing bus transport
