Sing-Along Song Lyrics
1. Ride, ride, ride the bus
Happily to school
There’s ABCs and 123s
Learning is so cool!
2. Ride, ride, ride the bus
To the park we ride
We’ll run and jump and climb so high
And then go down the slide!
3. Ride, ride, ride the bus
Happily to the zoo
See lions, zebras, birds and apes
And an owl that just says “Who?!”
