Also known as The Wheels on the Bus
This song depicts a bus ride through a city. Many things happen as the people travel through the city. Money chings, mothers and fathers speak. But it is very enjoyable but just a little too happy sometimes. However it sometimes can make a very long bus ride just a little bit shorter. You don't have to stick to the lyrics written here you can make up your own. I found out that YMCA uses this as a campfire song as well. It is to be sang in a cheery fun voice, in any range that your body can handle. Low to high whatever fits your voice. In some cases the song also comes with actions. Like when the wheels on the bus verse is sang the people singing will make circles with their fingers, and bounce up and down when the people on the bus verse is sang.
All I can really remember about this song is that the first time I sang it was in kinder-garden. We actually prepared for the bus ride with a few songs. Because it relates to a bus ride it is mostly to be sang on a bus. I am sure people had been singing this song long before I had. If anybody knows the actual history please add it. Or any variation of the song too.
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
The people on the bus go up and down
Up and down, up and down
The people on the bus go up and down
All through the town
The money on the bus goes ching-a-ling-a-ling
Ching-a-ling-a-ling, Ching-a-ling-a-ling
The money on the bus goes ching-a-ling-a-ling
All through the town
The mommy on the bus says you're so sweet
You're so sweet, you're so sweet
The mommy on the bus says you're so sweet
All through the town

I love you I love you, I love you
The daddy on the bus says I love you
All through the town
