Here in the 'Great Northwest' (specifically, Seattle, Washington), summer is finally here! So let's celebrate with a trip in the dump truck! This song is easy to sing, and you can add your own verses. What other jobs might a dump truck do during a busy day? (Note that the second half of each verse has a simple hand motion ) Dump Truck Song (clap on 'la's') (hands make back and forth wiper motions) (make ASL sign for pig: hand under chin, fingers wiggle) (scoop hands down and up, then flip cupped hands to 'dump') (rest head on hands) (clap on 'la's')
Lyrics
Hop into my dump truck, you can ride along with me
We've got a lot of work to do and we can work and sing
We're singin' la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
We're singin' la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
If it starts to rain we'll turn the windshield wipers on
We'll listen to their rhythm and we'll join their little song
As they go, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,
Old MacDonald needs a load of dirt out at the farm
And when we're finished we can pet the piggies in the barn
As they say, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink, oink,
If it's nice we'll take a load of sand up to the park
We'll dump it in the sandbox and we'll play until it's dark
And we can dig and pour, and dig and pour
And we can dig and pour, and dig and pour some more
Hop into my dump truck it's been quite a busy day
The sun is down, the stars are out
and you can hear them say, 'It's time to go to sleep,
it's time to go to sleep, It's time to go to sleep'
Hop up in my dump truck you can ride along with me
We're singin', la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
