Why we picked it: Laurie Berkner is a Grammy-nominated children's musician with decades of genuine touring and recording history — not a studio act. She's been dubbed "the Queen of Children's Music" by outlets like The New York Times and People, and has been writing and performing original kids' songs since the mid-1990s.



Tip: watch it through once together before trying the activity below.
Sing along
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 over town
And 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 over town
And the horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep
The horn on the bus goes beep, beep, beep
All over town
And the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
The wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish
All over town
And the doors on the bus go open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The doors on the bus go open and shut
All over town.
And the driver on the bus says move on back
Move on back, move on back
The driver on the bus says move on back
All over town
The babies on the bus say wah, wah, wah
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
The babies on the bus say wah, wah, wah
All over town
And the parents on the bus say I love you
I love you, I love you
The parents on the bus say I love you
All over town
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 over town

BACK TO SONGS



Did you know? "Wheels on the Bus" is over a hundred years old and belongs to no single songwriter — it's a traditional folk rhyme that's been passed down and adapted for generations, which is why you'll find dozens of slightly different versions across different channels and countries.
