Verse 1 – The Bus
The bus is big and yellow,
It drives us here and there,
We climb aboard and find a seat,
And travel everywhere!

The fire truck is red,
It zooms along the road,
With lights and sirens flashing bright,
To help when it’s told!

Verse 3 – The Police Car
The police car’s on patrol,
It keeps us safe and sound,
With flashing lights and wooshing sounds,
It drives all through the town!

Verse 4 – The Airplane
The airplane flies so high,
Up in the bright blue sky,
It soars above the clouds so white,
We wave as it goes by!

Verse 5 – The Ambulance
The ambulance goes fast,
With lights that flash so bright,
It helps the people who are hurt,
And rushes through the night!

Verse 6 – The Helicopter
The helicopter spins,
Its blades go whirring round,
It lifts up high above the ground,
Then slowly glides back down!

Verse 7 – All Together
So many ways to go,
To fly or drive or ride,
We zoom around, go up and down,
Let’s take a trip outside!

Song #2: The Fire Truck Song

(Tune: Down by the Station)

Verse 1
Here comes the fire truck, shiny and red,
Lights on top are flashing, siren overhead,
Hear the engine rumble, watch it drive away,
On its way to help us, brave and strong all day!

Verse 2
Up goes the ladder, reaching to the sky,
Firefighters climbing, brave as they go high,
Spraying water quickly, putting out the fire,
Helping all the people, is their true desire!

Verse 3
Back to the station, after saving the day,
Firefighters smiling, putting gear away,
Resting in the firehouse, ‘til the next alarm,
Ready to help others, and keep us safe from harm.

Song #3: I’m a Little Airplane

(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)

I’m a little airplane, watch me fly,
Up in the air, so high in the sky.
When I want to land, I’ll swoop right down,
Touching the ground without a sound.

I’m a little airplane, fast and strong,
Flying through clouds all day long.
With my wings spread wide, I soar and play,
Bringing people far away!

Song #4: The Garbage Truck Song

(Tune: Do your Ears Hang Low)

Does the garbage truck roar,
As it drives down the street?
Does it pick up all the trash,
Making everything neat?

With a lift and a dump,
And a clatter and a thump,
Yes, it picks the trash up every week!

Song #5: The Big Truck

(Tune: This is the Way)

Verse 1
This is the way the truck goes vroom,
Truck goes vroom, truck goes vroom,
This is the way the truck goes vroom,
All through the town!

Verse 2
This is the way it hauls big loads,
Hauls big loads, hauls big loads,
This is the way it hauls big loads,
Driving up and down!

Verse 3
This is the way it backs up slow,
Backs up slow, backs up slow,
This is the way the truck backs up,
Careful as can be!

Verse 4
This is the way it honks its horn,
Honks its horn, honks its horn,
This is the way it honks its horn,
With a big loud sound!

Song #6: Here Comes the Train

(Tune: This Old Man)

Verse 1
Here comes the train, down the track,
Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,
With a whistle and a chug, it goes so far,
Taking friends to where you are!

Verse 2
Big, strong train, rolling fast,
Through the town, it’s such a blast!
Over some bridges and through the trees,
Riding the train is such a breeze!

Verse 3
Hear the horn, loud and clear,
The big train is coming near!
Let’s wave hello as it passes by,
Clickety-clack, it says goodbye!

I hope these transportation songs bring some fun to your little one’s day as they sing with you.
