Lonely Bus Driver
One lonely bus driver all alone and blue
He picked up a passenger and then there were two.
Two people riding, they stopped by a tree
They picked up a passenger, and then there were three.
Three people riding, they stopped by a store
They picked up a passenger, and then there were four.
Four people riding, happy and alive,
They picked up a passenger, and then there were five.
Five people riding open swung the door
Four passengers got off the bus, The driver's alone once more.

The Wheels of The Bus
The wheels of the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round
The wheels of the bus go round and round
All through the town.
The driver of the bus says Move On Back!
Move On back! Move On Back!
The driver of the bus says Move On Back!
All through the town.
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 through the town.

so early in the morning.
This is the way we use a screwdriver,
use a screwdriver, use a screwdriver,

I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
I've been working on the railroad
All the live-long day.
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away.
Don't you hear the whistle blowing,
Rise up so early in the morn;
Don't you hear the captain shouting,
"Dinah, blow your horn!"

Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strummin' on the old banjo!
Singin' fi, fie, fiddly-i-o
Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o
Fi, fie, fiddly-i-o
Strummin' on the old banjo

The Airplane Song
http://pbskids.org/barney/children/music/airplane.html

Chorus:
Oh, we are flying in an airplane,
Looking out the window,
Watching the clouds go by.
Flying in an airplane,
Looking out the window,
Up so very high.

Looking out the window,
We can see the wings.
Down below we see other things.
Like little tiny buildings
And cars so small,
It makes me feelLike I'm really tall.

Chorus

Pretending I'm a pilot is a lot of fun,
I think when I grow up
I really might be one.
But for now I'm just enjoying
Being in this plane,
Safe from the snow and from the rain.

Chorus

I keep your pets healthy. I can teach you new things.
I can help if you get lost.

I'm a Helpful Doctor Sung to: "I'm a little teapot"
I'm a helpful doctor,
Dressed in white,
I help people feel better,
Day and night.
When you get hurt or sick,
Come see me.
I'll get you all fixed up,
Just as quick as can be.

Community Helpers Song
Sung to: "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"
Mailmen deliver mail,
Nurses help us when we're sick,
Bankers deposit money,
Farmers raise cows, goats and chicks.
Doctors, teachers and police.
We all need them so.
Each does his important part
Always on the go.
Bus drivers, sales and firemen,
Couldn't do without them too!
Can't wait 'til you grow up,
There’s so many jobs for you!
