 Take a bus or take a train,
Take a boat or take a plane, Take a taxi, take a car, Maybe near or maybe far, Take a rocket to the moon, But be sure to come back soon. Bumping up and down in my little red wagon Bumping up and down in my little red wagon Bumping up and down in my little red wagon Let's ride off together! One wheel, two wheels on the ground. My feet make the pedals go round and round. The handlebars help me to steer so straight, Down the sidewalk and through the gate. I am a big airplane, With wings so wide and strong. My tail stands straight up in the air, And my body's very long.(Stand on one foot, stretching one leg behind, extended in air.) Watch me when I'm flying, For I go very fast. Let's see who can stay up in the air, And who runs out of gas! ( remain balanced on one foot.) Sung to: "Clementine" I'm an airplane, I'm an airplane Flying up into the sky. Flying higher, flying higher As I watch the clouds go by. I'm an airplane, I'm an airplane See me flying all around. Flying lower, flying lower, Till I land down on the ground. I'm an airplane, (children raise arms at sides to shoulders.) Now watch me fly! Here are my instruments From down low to up high. (reach from the ground to above heads.) First I get revved up. (make engine noises) Then I can fly, (raise arms to shoulders) Lifting off the runway (start walking forward.) Up into the sky! Down by the station early in the morning, See the little train cars all in a row. Listen to the engineer pull the big whistle. Toot-toot, toot-toot! Off we go! Little red caboose, little red caboose, Little red caboose behind the train, train, train, train, Smokestack on its back, going down the track, Little red caboose behind the train. WOO! WOO! Tune: Bingo Look at my bright shiny car I'm driving it today-o. C - A - R (BEEP! BEEP!) C - A - R (BEEP! BEEP!) C - A - R (BEEP! BEEP!) I'm driving it today - o! More verses: We put on our seat belts, put the key in the ignition, got gas etc. The red at the top Tells us to STOP! (palm facing out.) The green below Tells us to GO! (Sweep arm out as traffic cop would) The yellow in the middle Tells us to WAIT! (Extend both arms out.) Please don't worry- You won't be late! Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck (Hands on steering wheel) Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck Hurry, hurry, drive the fire truck Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! (Ring bell) Hurry, hurry, turn the corner (Lean to the right) Hurry, hurry, turn the corner (Lean to the left) Hurry, hurry, turn the corner (Lean to the right and left) Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! (Ring bell) (Tune of Wheels on the Bus) The wheels on the train go clackety clack Clackety clack, clackety clack The wheels on the train, go clackety clack All along the track. More verses: The whistle... goes whoo, whoo, whoo The conductor... says, "All Aboard" The people ... go bumpety, bump Train is a-coming, oh yeah. Train is a-coming, oh yeah. Train is a-coming, train is a-coming, Train is a-coming, oh yeah. Better get your ticket, oh yeah. Better get your ticket, oh yeah. Better get your ticket, better get your ticket, Better get your ticket, oh yeah. I'm a windshield wiper (bend arm at elbow and hold fingers up) This is how I go (swing arm back and forth) Back and forth, back and forth In the rain and snow. Over hill, over dale They will ride along the trail Through the mud and through the rain Big trucks will come and go again. |
