Riding in My Car – song (Woody Guthrie)
Take you riding in the car, car [x3]
I’ll take you riding in the car
Click clack open up the door, girls
Click clack open up the door, boys
Front door, back door, clickety clack
Take you riding in my car
Climb climb, rattle on the front seat
Spree-I-spraddle on the back seats
Turn my key, start my starter
Take you riding in my car.
The engine it goes brrm brrm [x3]
Take you riding in my car
Fire Truck Song - song (to “Bumping up and down in my little red wagon”)
Hurry, hurry drive that fire truck,
Hurry hurry drive that fire truck,
Hurry hurry drive that fire truck,
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Hurry, hurry turn the corner…
Hurry hurry climb the ladder…
Hurry hurry squirt the hoses…
Slowly slowly, back to the fire house..
Down by the station – song in round
Down by the station early in the morning
See the little pufferbellies all in a row
See the stationmaster turn his little handle
Puff puff, toot toot
Off they go!
Auto, auto – movement rhyme
Auto, auto, may I have a ride [point to self]
Yes, sir; yes sir! Step inside [nod, beckon]
Pour in the water [pour with right]
Pump in the gas [pour with left]
Chug-away, chug away, but not too fast! [steer]
Bumping Up and Down – song
Bumping up and down in my little red wagon [x3]
Won’t you be my darlin’
One wheel’s off and the axle’s broken…
Freddie’s gonna fix it with his hammer…
Laura’s gonna fix it with her pliers…
Bicycle Built for Two – traditional song
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do
I’m half crazy, all for the love of you
It won’t be a fancy marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage
But you’ll look sweet, upon the seat
Of a bicycle built for two
