Transportation

Airplane
The airplane has great big wings.
Its propeller spins around and sings.
"Vvvvvvvvv!"
The airplane goes up;
The airplane goes down.
The airplane flies high,
Over our town.

Airplanes
We are little airplanes, flying, flying.
We are little airplanes, zoom, zoom, zoom.
We are flying low, we are flying high.
We are flying round and round, flying in the sky.

Astronaut Poem
Five brave astronauts floated into space
The first one disappeared without a trace
The second one somersaulted past the moon
The third one entered the atmosphere too soon
The fourth one took off counting ten to zero
And the fifth one landed safely like a hero.

Boats, Boats, Boats

Sailboat, rowboat, motor boat, too.
Moving through the waters so clear and blue.
Tugboat, lifeboat, kayak and canoe
With so many types of boats,
Which one will you choose?

by Melanie Mazurek (teacher)

Click Clack
Click, clack, clickety clack,
Here comes the engine up the track.
Huffing and puffing and huffing and puffing
And clickety, clickety, clickety, clack.

Climb Aboard the Space Ship (tune of Eency Weency Spider)
Climb aboard the spaceship, we're going to the moon
Hurry and get ready, we're going to blast off soon
Put on your helmets and buckle up really tight
Here comes the countdown, let's count with all our might
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Blast Off!

Down By The Station
Down by the station,
Early in the morning,
See the little pufferbellies,
All in a row.
See the station master,
Turn the little handle,
Puff, puff, choo, choo,
Off they go!

Down on the Launch Pad (tune of Down by the Station)
Down on the launch pad
Early in the morning
See the big rocket, ready to go
Hear the launch director
Check for any problems
Then 3, 2, 1, it's off they go.

Engine, Engine
Engine, engine number nine
Going down Chicago line.
If the train goes off the track,
Will I get my money back?

Ferry Boat
Here she comes round the bend
Toot, Toot! Toot, Toot!
Here she comes around the bend,
Toot, Toot! Toot, Toot!
"Where's she been?"
"I don't know."
"Where's she been?"
"I don't know."
"Where's she been?"
"I don't know."
Toot, Toot! Toot,Toot!

Helping Daddy Drive
Open the car door, climb inside
I get to help my daddy drive
Fasten the seat belt, shut the door
Start the motor, hear it roar
Turn the corner, step on the gas
If the road's clear, we may pass.

Here is a Car
Here is a car, shiny and bright.
This is the windshield that lets in the light.
Here are wheels that go round and round.
I sit in the back seat and not make a sound.

I'd Like to Fly (tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)
I'd like to fly an airplane
Airplane, airplane,
I'd like to fly an airplane
When I'm all grown up.

I'm a Little Airplane (tune of I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little airplane
Now watch me fly
Here are my instruments
From down low to high
First I get all revved up
Then I can fly
Lifting off the runway
Up into the sky.

I'm a Passenger Train (tune of I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a passenger train, on the track
I take people places and I bring them back
While I chug along, my wheels go clickety-click
I take you where you're going, lickety-split.

I'm a Plane
I'm a plane with wings so bright
Waiting here to take a flight.
Now I sail up straight and high.
Now I sail around the sky.
Now I land upon the ground,
With a very quiet sound.

In The Car
We're going for a ride in somebody's car,
Somebody's car, somebody's car.
We're going for a ride in somebody's car,
We'll sit in the back because it's safer there.
We all need our seat belts, our seat belts, our seat belts,
We all need our seat belts, because its safer there.

Let's Play Car
Time to take a little ride.
Open the door and get inside.
Now the engine starts to hum.
Shakes a bit, goes brr... brr... brrum!
Then the tires go around
Rolling faster on the ground.
Turn the steering wheel just so
To take us where we want to go.
Oh! It's raining, splattering down!
Hear the windshield wiper's sound.
Turn the lights on, see them blink?
Did you know headlights could wink?
My! This road is full of bumps.
Ups and downs, and oops, more jumps.
Our gas tank's low, our tires need air.
Look! A station over there!
Listen to the air pump ring -
Psht, psht, air goes in, then hear the ping!
From pump to hose to empty tank,
What a lot of gas we drank!
Time to run around and then,
Soon we'll all be home again.

Little Red Caboose
Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug.
Little red caboose, chug, chug, chug.
Little red caboose behind the train, train, train.
Smoke stack on his back, back, back.
Coming down the track, track, track.
Little red caboose behind the train. WOO! WOO!

Moon Ride
Do you want to go up with me to the moon?
Let's get in our rocket ship and blast off soon
Faster and faster we reach the sky
Isn't it fun to be able to fly?
We're on the moon and now take a look
And gently sit down and I'll show you a book.

Motor Boat
Motor boat, motor boat,
Putt, putt, putt.
Sailing boat, sailing boat,
Swish, swish, swish.
Big boat, big boat,
Splash, splash, splash.

Railroad Train
One is the engine, shiny and fine;
It pulls the coaches all in a line.
Two is the baggage car, big and strong;
It carries suitcases and trunks along.
Three is the express car, with double locks;
Send what you wish in a package or a box.
Four is the mail car, with much to do.
It carries letters to me and to you.
Five, six, seven, go all the way;
They carry people, both night and day.

Rocket Ship
Our rocket ship is standing by
And very, very soon,
We'll have a count-down, then we'll blast
Way up to reach the moon.
Begin to count: ten, nine, eight,
Be on time, don't be late.
Seven, six, five, and four.
There aren't many seconds more.
Three, two, one! Zero! Zip!
The rocket is off on its first moon trip.

Rocket Ship
Put on your space helmet,
Put on your space suit.
Strap an oxygen tank to your back.
We'll take a long trip
In our rocket ship.
Thousands of miles to the moon and back.
Thousands of miles to the moon.

Row Your Boat
Row, row, row you boat,
Gently down the stream,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Sad, Sad Bike
The wheels can't spin.
The seat shakes.
The chain has rust.
And the bike needs brakes!
Just last week
The kickstand broke.
And one wheel
Lost one spoke.
"Sad, sad bike!" said the girl.
"I'm on your side.
I'll fix you up.
And then we'll ride!"

School Bus
I go to the bus stop each day
Where the bus comes to take us away.
We stand single file
And walk down the aisle
When the bus driver talks, we obey.

The Anchor on the Ship (tune of Wheels on the Bus)
The anchor on the ship goes up and down
Up and down, up and down
The anchor on the bus, goes up and down
Across the blue ocean.
People on the ship... lots of fun
Captain on the ship... says, "All aboard!"
Engine on the ship... goes Rrr, rrr, rrr.

The Big Trucks (tune of This Old Man)
Over hill, over dale
They will ride along the trail
Through the mud and through the rain
Big trucks will come and go again.

The Car Ride
"Vroom!" says the engine
As the driver starts the car.
"Mmmm," says the windows
As the driver takes it far.
"Errr," says the tires
As it rounds the final bend.
"Ahhh," says the driver
As his trip comes to an end.

The Family Car
Sometimes I ride in the family car.
The engine jerks so we cannot go far.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
Pop, pop, pop! Juggle, jiggle, JAT!
What is the matter?
The tire is flat! Sssssssssssssssss!

The Propeller on the Plane (tune of Wheels on the Bus)
The propeller on the plane goes round and round
Round and round, round and round
The propeller on the plane goes round and round
Across the big blue sky.
Pilot... says, Let's take off
People... fly way up high.

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.
...wipers go swish
...doors go open and shut
...horn goes beep
...driver says, "Move on back."
...people go up and down
...babies go waa
...parents go, "Shh..."

The Wheels on the Train (tune of Wheels on the Bus)
The wheels on the train go clackety clack
Clackety clack, clackety clack
The wheels on the train, go clackety clack
All along the track.

The whistle... goes whoo, whoo, whoo
The conductor... says, "All Aboard"
The people ... go bumpety, bump
The brakes... go chh, chh, chh.

Three Astronauts
One astronaut climbs up the stair
To the capsule hatch which we see there.
Two astronauts sit side by side.
Three astronauts prepare for the ride.
The first one says, "We have checked controls."
The second one says, "We will reach our goals."
The third one says, "Turn the oxygen on."
All three say, "We will soon be gone."
The first one says, "We have checked things well.
Our system is working. We can tell."
The second one says, "I hear the blasting sound.
Our ship is lifting off the ground."
The third one says, "We are high in the sky.
Already we have reached ten miles high."
Three astronauts sit quietly in place
All at their work in outer space.

Toot and Chug
Toot said the little boat sailing along
Chug, chug said the little train, I'm very strong
Zoom, zoom said the airplane as he flew away
But look at me, I can jump today.

Train
Here is the train and here is the track.
Choo-choo forward! Choo-choo back!
Here are the wheels going clackety-clack.
POOF! goes the smoke from the big smokestack!

Train
The train's big wheels go clickety clack
As they choo-choo over the railroad track
It'll never get lost through thick and thin
For a train only goes where it's already been.

Tug Boat
Lift the gates up, keep them high!
Here comes the tug boat passing by.
Chug, chug, chug, it goes along.
Chug, chug-a-toot-toot is his song.

We're Flying (tune of Farmer in the Dell)
We're flying to the moon, we're flying to the moon
Blast off, away we go
We're flying to the moon.
We're going in a spacecraft...
We're landing out in space...
We're landing on the moon...
We're collecting moon rocks...
We're flying back to Earth...
We're landing on the Earth...

Wheels
Wheels big.
Wheels small.
Count them one by one
Turning as they're pedaled
In the springtime sun.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

Windshield Wiper
I'm a windshield wiper
This is how I go
Back and forth, back and forth
In the rain and snow.

Zoom Zoom Zoom
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We're going to the moon
We'll hop into our rocket ship
And get there very soon.
