Lyrics[]

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 doors on the bus go open and shut
Open and shut, open and shut
The doors on the bus go open and shut
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 babies on the bus go "Wah, wah, wah!"
"Wah, wah, wah! Wah, wah, wah!"
The babies on the bus go "Wah, wah, wah!"
All through the town
The mommies on the bus go "Shh, shh, shh!"
"Shh, shh, shh! Shh, shh, shh!"
The daddies on the bus go "Shh, shh, shh!"
All through the 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 through the town

In Barney Live in Concert, the song is given a hip-hop makeover. As such, new lyrics were added to some of the ones above:

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
Wheels on the Bus!
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
The wipers on the bus go swish swish swish
swish swish swish, swish swish swish
The doors on the bus swish swish swish
All through the town
Wheels on the Bus!
The wheels on the bus!
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 baby on the bus goes "Wah, wah, wah!"
"Wah, wah, wah! Wah, wah, wah!"
The baby on the bus goes "Wah, wah, wah!"
Give him a bottle!
Gonna take a bus ride.
Gonna take a bus ride.
Gonna take a bus ride.
Just get on the bus,
Gotta get on the bus!
We're gonna take a bus ride.
Come on everybody,
Get on the bus!
Gonna take a bus ride,
Come on!
The monkey on the bus goes "Oo ah ah!"
"Oo ah ah! Oo ah ah!"
The monkey on the bus goes "Oo ah ah!"
All through the 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 through the town!
