Wheels On The Bus
Traditional, adapted by Eric Litwin and Michael Levine
Lyrics:
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
The windows on the bus go up and down
Up and down, up and down
The windows on the bus go up and down
All through the town
The cats on the bus say, “Meow, meow, meow”...
The driver on the bus says, "Move on back"...
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish...
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep...
The babies on the bus say, "Wah, wah, wah"...
The mommies on the bus say, "ssh ssh ssh"...
The wheels on the bus go round and round...
