Huff Chuff Puff

The train on the track is going huff huff huff
And the steam from the wheels is going chuff chuff chuff
And the smoke from the chimney’s going puff puff puff

Clitter-clatter clitter-clatter huff chuff puff
Clitter-clatter clitter-clatter huff chuff puff

The ship on the sea is going swish swish swish
And the net in the waves is catching fish fish fish
So we’ll all eat our dinner on a dish dish dish

Wobble-gobble wobble-gobble swish fish dish
Wobble-gobble wobble-gobble swish fish dish

The car on the road is going beep beep beep
But we don’t want to hear another peep peep peep
’Cause the baby in the seat is fast asleep sleep sleep

Rattle-tattle rattle-tattle beep peep sleep
Rattle-tattle rattle-tattle beep peep sleep
