Back to school: con Wheels on the Bus, una canzoncina ballerina

Ci sono canzoncine che ascoltiamo e cantiamo in macchina, o a casa, con i bimbi e che poi per un certo tempo cadono nel dimenticatoio. Con Wheels on the Bus è successo proprio così, l’abbiamo ascoltata tantissimo andando in macchina, grazie ai CD Helen Doron, e poi l’altro giorno, pensando alle canzoncine in inglese per il ritorno a scuola, mi è venuta improvvisamente in mente.

L’abbiamo ascoltata infinite volte, e questo mi sembra proprio il momento di tirarla fuori di nuovo! Ecco il testo

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!

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!

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 through the town!

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 through the town!

The signals on the bus go blink, blink, blink.
blink, blink, blink.
blink, blink, blink.
The signals on the bus go blink, blink, blink,
all through the town!

The motor on the bus goes zoom, zoom, zoom.
zoom, zoom, zoom.
zoom, zoom, zoom.
The motor on the bus goes zoom, zoom, zoom,
all through the town!

The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa.
waa, waa, waa.
waa, waa, waa.
The babies on the bus go waa, waa, waa,
all through the town!

The parents on the bus go shh, shh, shh.
shh, shh, shh.
shh, shh, shh.
The parents on the bus go shh, shh, shh,
all through the town!

The mommy on the bus says, I love you.
I love you, I love you
The daddy on the bus says, I love you, too.
All through the town.

E’ una canzoncina davvero divertente, e come tutte le canzoni Helen Doron può essere facilmente mimata, ecco un video che può ispirarvi:
