The wheels on the bus go round and round, (trace circles with index fingers)
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All through the town.
Repeat the song substituting:
The doors on the bus go open and shut… (bring hands apart then together)
The people on the bus go up and down… (bounce up and down)
The driver on the bus says, "Move on back!" (point back)
The babies on the bus go, "Wah, wah, wah!" (open mouth and wipe eyes with fists, as if crying)
The parents on the bus say, "Shh, shh, shh…" (put finger to lips for "Shh" sounds)
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish… (wag index fingers, or move hands side to side with palms facing out)
The horn on the bus goes honk, honk, honk… (pretend to honk horn)
(Repeat first verse)
