Transport Rap Lyrics

Here is the steam train
Coming down the track
Now it’s going forward
Now it’s going back
Now the bell is ringing
Now the whistle blows
Wow what a lot of noise it makes
As the engine slows!

Here is an airplane
Flying through the sky
See the plane flying low
See the plane flying high
Now lots of dripping drops of rain
Falling from the clouds
Hear the thunder clapping
Really, really, LOUD!

Here is the moon so big and round
Here is the rocket ship on the ground
Two astronauts will ride this ship
Up the ladder, quick, quick, quick!
On go the helmets, down goes the mask
Astronauts ready for their task
Countdown begins 3, 2, 1!
The outer space journey has begun!
