5 Train Engines

January 5, 2019 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

5 Train Engines

5 train engines rolling down the track.
One little engine is very, very black.
4 train engines admiring the view.
One little engine is very, very blue.
3 train engines see a mountain up ahead.
One train engine was very, very red.
2 train engines now going very slow.
One little engine is very, very, yellow.
1 train engine, the prettiest that I’ve seen.
That little engine is very, very green!

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.

Life is but a dream.

Wheels on the Bus

The Wheels on the Bus

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.

Additional Verses:
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
The driver on the bus goes “Move on back”
The people on the bus go up and down
The money on the bus goes clink, clink, clink
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa
The mommies on the bus go shh, shh, shh
The daddies on the bus go “I love you!”

Ride Away, Ride Away

Ride Away, Ride Away

Ride away, Ride away,
Johnny shall ride,
And he shall have pussycat
Tied to one side.
And he shall have little dog
Tied to the other;
And Johnny shall ride
To see his grandmother.

Choo-choo

Choo-choo

This is a choo-choo train
Puffing down the track.
Now it’s going forward,
Now it’s going back.
Now the bell is ringing,
Now the whistle blows,
What a lot of noise it makes
Everywhere it goes.

Traffic Lights

November 8, 2009 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Traffic Lights

“Stop,” says the red light,
“Go,” says the green,
“Wait,” says the yellow light
Blinking in between.
That’s what they say and
That’s what they mean.
We all must obey them,
Even the Queen.
