Songs about transport

[GeorgianMumto5]

I need some songs to sing with Year 1 on the 'transport' theme. I know 'Morningtown Ride' (about trains) but am otherwise a bit stumped. If you know any, please do share. I'm an LSA. Thanks!

I just want some songs for those many odd moments when you've got a few minutes before play, etc. I sing with the cildren a lot, but my mind has gone blank for topc-related songs.

wheels on the bus
row row row your boat

ride a cock horse?!

Horsey horsey - about carriage riding.

Flanders and Swann - "A Transport of Delight" - I will link to it on youtube when I am on the pc not my phone.

YOu may or may not like Barney but some of his songs are really nice. There's a lovely one called something like "We are flying on an aeroplane".

Mine love it. So do I

Runaway train
Toot toot, chugga chugga big red car

The Trumpton theme tune - or perhaps the Half Man Half biscuit version

The day I went to sea
Two little men in a flying saucer
Riding my bike

I'm trying to think of the other songs on a cassette my children had called "Travelling songs".

I was thinking of the Trumpton song also. Now have the naughty but funny Half Man half biscuit version stuck in my head.
Thanks titchy!

I like driving in my car by Madness. ? Am sure that's suitable

there is a song where the chorus is;
'Broom broom give me some room
The tractor's coming through'
It's on a children's song cd so should be findable

Chitty Chitty bang bang
Yellow submarine

Big Red Bus
Twinkle Twinkle Traffic Lights (sort of about transport)
Big Ship Sails

Ooh, YY to "Transport of Delight". It's the one which sings about the big six-wheeler, scarlet painted, London Transport, diesel engined, 97 horsepower omnibus! You could teach them a little bit about the history of the Routemaster as well.

What's that one that goes "Down at the station, early in the morning, see the little puffer trains all in a row...?" There is a version that has that as the first verse, then second verse "Down at the harbour, early in the morning, see the little tugboats all in a row", and a third verse to do with tractors on a farm, but I can't remember all the words...

Aha, here's a version - station, airport and harbour - link

There's the train song from Camberwick Green.
"Over bridges under bridges to our destination.
Riding through the countriside there so much to be seen.
Passengers waving as we steam through a station
Stoke up fireman the signal is at green.
Time flies by when I'm a riding of a train
I ride on the footplate there and back again."

Or something like that.

Zoom zoom zoom, we're going to the moon

Bouncing up and down on a big red tractor

Down at the station early in the morning

There's also the Ballad of Casey Jones - just off to google it for you - brb

Fiddlers dram..... The day we went to Bangor. Early 80's
Can't remember all the words.....might not be suitable.

We sang Blaydon Races at primary school.
Yellow submarine.

Just reread OP. Maybe not for year 1.

Little Red Caboose

Lots of great hand motions and the kids can do a conga to it:

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated. I always get Flanders and Swann mixed up with that singing duo on the Armstrong and Miller Show!

Ooh, I love 'Little Red Caboose' - learned it in America (where they know what a caboose is).

The night mail / crossing the border one.

She'll be coming round the mountain? (Driving six white horses...)

Songs from Thomas the Tank Engine?

daisy daisy,
wheels on the lorry
down at the station is easy for y1
