The wheels of the bus go round and round

Round and round, round and round.

All day long!

The wipers of the bus go swish, swish, swish

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

The wipers of the bus go swish, swish, swish

All day long!

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 day long!

The baby in the bus goes waah, waah, wah

Waah, waah, wah, waah, waah, wah

All day long!

The doors of the bus swing open and shut

Open and shut, open and shut

The doors of the bus swing open and shut

All day long!

The wheels of the bus go round and round

Round and round, round and round.

The wheels of the bus go round and round

All day long!
