People Bus Song

Felix's favorite song lately is "Wheels on the Bus". At first, he'd just ask me to sing the song. "People bus song, mommy!" Then he'd request specific verses. "Baby bus song, mommy!" Then he started swapping out the bus riders with family members, our pets, Santa and reindeer, and I had to come up with what everyone said. I decided Grandpa says "ha ha ha", cousin Natalya says "hi hi hi ", the reindeer "fly fly fly", etc.

Then he started swapping out the bus for other vehicles, and paired with family members or pets, the verse requests came rapid-fire. "Grandpa firetruck song!" "Hayden car song!" "Leo truck song!"

His latest version includes a snake, brings back the baby, and the people are there and also the baby touches the snake. The request sounds like "Baby bus snake, people bus, baby touch snake song, mommy."

So it goes a little something like this: "The baby on the bus goes wah wah wah, andseesasnakegoing SSS SSS SSS, and touches the snake, touches the snake. And the people on the busseethesnake and go eek eek eek, all through the town!"
