The Wheels On The Bus 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 around the town.

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
All around the town.

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.
All around the town.

The doors on the bus go open and shut.
Open and shut, open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut.
All around the town.

The babies on the bus go “Boo hoo hoo”.
“Boo hoo hoo”, “Boo hoo hoo”.
The babies on the bus go “Boo hoo hoo”.
All around the town.

The driver of the bus says “Please sit down”.
“Please sit down”, “Please sit down”.
The driver of the bus says “Please sit down”.
All around the town.

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 around the town.

The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish.
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
All around the town.

The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep.
All around the town.

The doors on the bus go open and shut.
Open and shut, open and shut.
The doors on the bus go open and shut.
All around the town.

The babies on the bus go “Boo hoo hoo”.
“Boo hoo hoo”, “Boo hoo hoo”.
The babies on the bus go “Boo hoo hoo”.
All around the town.

The driver of the bus says “Please sit down”.
“Please sit down”, “Please sit down”.
The driver of the bus says “Please sit down”.
All around the town.

  • Tone Colour is the specific sound quality of a voice or instrument. What sounds can you make with your voice? Shouting, singing, whispering, humming, whistling. Experiment with found sounds to create: wheels turning, window wipers, a horn, doors opening and closing, babies crying, bus driver’s voice.
  • Play the instrumental version of the song and invite individual children to sing a verse each.

Drama

  • Have a roving reporter who asks the characters questions e.g. where are you going? Where have you been? How old are you?
  • Role-play a situation where you are rushing to catch a bus…

Dance
