Round and round, round and round

The wheels on the bus go round and round

Round and round and round

The big ben clock goes tick tick tick, tick tick tick, tick tick tick

The big ben clock goes tick tick tick, tick tick tick tick tick

The people can watch the wheel so high, the wheel so high, the wheel so high,

The people can watch the wheel so high, the wheel so high

The bus now goes to the London Bridge, London Bridge, London Bridge

The bus now goes to the London Bridge, London Bridge

The London Bridge goes open and close, open and close, open and close

The London Bridge goes open and close, open and close

The Red light says to stop the bus, stop the bus, stop the bus

The Red light says to stop the bus, Stop! Stop! Stop!

The green light says move forward, move forward, move forward

The green light says move forward, Go! Go! Go!

The London tower is on your right, on your right, on your right

The London tower is on your right, on your right,.

The London tower stands tall and bright, tall and bright, tall and bright

The London tower stands tall and bright, tall and bright

The bell on the bus goes ding dong dong, ding dong dong, ding dong dong
