Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Additional Words, Music and Activities: Hap Palmer

Actions:  
Do the following motions as you sing along:
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
   Circle arms and hands
The people on the bus go up and down
  Bounce up and down
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
  Do half circle motions side to side with arms and hands
The baby on the bus says, "Waah, waah, waah,"
  Open mouth wide and imitate baby crying
The parents on the bus say, "Shhh, shhh, shhh"
  Cradle and rock imaginary baby in your arms as you say, "Shhh"
The engine on the bus goes sputter, sputter, sputter
  Do jerking, jolting motions and make a sputtering sound
The gas fills the tank with a gurgle, gurgle, gurgle
   Wiggle fingers in downward motion
The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
  Circle arms and hands
The brakes on the bus go squeak, squeak, squeak
   Press foot down
The door opens up with a "pshhhh, click"
  Start from closed position, and open arms
The people step off with a clunk, clunk, clunk
   Stomp feet
The driver on the bus says, "Bye, bye, folks"
   Wave good-bye

 

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

Verse 2  The people on the bus go up and down
Verse 3 The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
Verse 4 The baby on the bus says, "Waah, waah, waah,"
Verse 5 The parents on the bus say, "Shhh, shhh, shhh"
Verse 6 The engine on the bus goes sputter, sputter, sputter
    (Got to get to the station for some gas)
Verse 7 The gas fills the tank with a gurgle, gurgle, gurgle
Verse 8  The wheels on the bus go 'round and 'round
Verse 9 The brakes on the bus go squeak, squeak, squeak
      The door opens up with a "pshhhh, click"
      The people step off with a clunk, clunk, clunk
Verse 10 The driver on the bus says, "Bye, bye, folks"
