need this song.

[JORHMI]

If anyone has the music and lyrics to the kid song "Little Red Caboose", I
would appreciate it very much if you would e-mail it to me.
Thank you,
JOR...@prodigy.net
P.S
Any other songs that you have on transportation would also be helpful. This
is for a school program.

[Kyle Harris]

There are probably a lot of versions of this song... here is the one I
know:

LITTLE RED CABOOSE

CHORUS:
Little red caboose (chug chug chug)
Little red caboose (chug chug chug)
Riding behind the train (toot toot)

Little red caboose (chug chug chug)
Little red caboose (chug chug chug)
Riding behind the train (toot toot)

Get your ticket and get on board
Riding behind the train
Get your ticket and get on board
Riding behind the train
CHORUS
I got a brother who's on that train
Riding behind the train
I got a sister who's on that train
Riding behind the train
CHORUS

As for other transportation songs, there is Woody Guthrie's "Car Car".
What age group are you using these for? Others I would suggest kinda
depend on the age of the kids!

Forty Blocks From My Home
sung by a little boy who has those
"I have to travel 40 Blocks to School" blues ...
performed by Jerry Nelson

"Bye, Mom, Bye, Spot, see you later."

Block 2, Block 3
My mom's still wavin' at me
4, 5, 6
The kids are all startin' to mix
7, 8, 9
I'm tryin' to keep from cryin'
10, count 'em 10
Man, I wish I was back home again!
Yeah, life can be so cruel
Goin' forty blocks to school
Forty blocks from my home

11, 12, 13
I'm singin' the homesick blues
14, 15, 16
I'm shakin' inside my new shoes
17, 18, 19
That's 19 streets of sorrow
20, count 'em 20
Gotta do it again tommorow!
Yeah, life can be so cruel
Goin' forty blocks to school
Forty blocks from my home

21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
Feels like I left my stomach somewhere back there around 11
28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34
I can't go on much longer, man, but there's six blocks more!
We turn around a corner, Block 35 looks great
Now everybody's countin' off 36! 37! 38!
We roll into the parking lot at number 39
Pull up to the door at 40, hey, 40 feels just fine!
Yeah, 40's pretty cool
I went 40 blocks to school
Forty blocks from my home
Yeah, 40's pretty cool
I went 40 blocks to school
Forty blocks from my home!
Forty blocks from my home!

Going For A Ride
performed by the Anything Muppets
words and music by Joe Raposo and Jeffrey Moss

Oh I'm going for a ride
Gonna sit behind the wheel
Gonna drive along the road
Oh how happy I will feel
And I'm gonna toot my horn
Gonna travel near and far
I'm going for a ride
Going riding in a car
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
And a car goes vroom...
Gonna travel near and far
Going riding in a car

Oh I'm going for a ride
And I'm never going back
Gonna be an engineer
Gonna speed along the track
And you'll hear my whistle blow
And I'm happy to explain
That I'm going for a ride
Going riding on a train
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And a train goes woo...
And I'm happy to explain
I'm going riding in a train

Oh I'm going for a ride
I'm gonna sail the ocean blue
And I'm gonna be a captain
And I'm gonna have a crew
Gonna sail the seven seas
On the water I will float
Cause I'm going for a ride
And I'm riding in a boat
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
And a boat goes toot...
On the water I will float
Going riding in a boat

Yes, I'm going for a ride (vroom)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (woo)
Yes, I'm going for a ride (toot)
Yes, we're going for a ride

Let's Go Driving
Written by Jeff Moss

Let's go driving in an automobile
Let's take a ride in a car
Listen to the motor go vroom, vroom, vroom
As we travel near and far
Vroom, vr-vroom, vr-vroom
Vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, vr-vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom
Vroom, vr-vroom, vr-vroom,
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom,
Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.

Let's go driving in an automobile
Let's take a ride in a car
Listen to the horn go beep, beep, beep
As we travel near and far
Beep, be-beep, be-beep,
Beep, beep, beep,
Beep, be-beep, be-beep, beep
Beep, be-beep, be-beep,
Beep, beep, beep, beep
Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

Let's go driving in an automobile
Let's take a ride in a car.
Windshield wipers go swish, swish, swish
As we travel near and far
Swish, sw-swish, sw-swish,
Swish, swish, swish,
Swish, sw-swish, sw-swish, swish
Swish, sw-swish, sw-swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

Let's go driving in an automobile
Let's take a ride in a car.
Listen to the people sing la, la la
As we travel near and far
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la.

Let's go driving in an automobile
Let's take a ride in a car.
Listen to the sounds we all can hear
As we travel near and far
Vroom, vr-vroom, vr-vroom
Vroom, vroom, vroom
Beep, be-beep, be-beep, beep
Swish, sw-swish, sw-swish,
Swish, swish, swish
La, la, la, la, la.

I'm A Little Airplane
(the word "now" is sung like an airplane sounds
which explains the spelling)
written and performed by Jonathan Richman
available on his album, "Modern Lovers' 'Live' "

Well, I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow

I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
And wangity-wang, wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

I fly in the dark (nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
Over baseball parks (nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
Well I fly late at night (nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
I got my little red light (nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow nrrrow-nrrrow-nrrrow)
And wangity-wang, wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

I'm a little airplane nrrrow
You know, I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow
I'm a little airplane nrrrow, nrrrow
And wangity-wang
I go everywhere
Wangity-wang
I'm a little airplane nrrrow

Morningtown Ride
sung by Bob McGrath

Train whistle blowin
Makes a sleepy noise
Underneath their blankets
Go all the girls and boys

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Cookie's at the engine
Maria rings the bell
Big Bird swings the lantern
To show that all is well

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Maybe it is raining
Where our train will ride
But all the little travelers
Are warm and snug inside

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Somewhere there is sunshine
Somewhere there is day
Somewhere there is Morningtown
Many miles away

Rockin', rollin', ridin'
Out along the bay
All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

All bound for Morningtown
Many miles away

Cheers,

TD
