Song: “Drive, Drive, Drive” (Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”)
Drive, drive, drive your truck,
All around the town,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Up the hills and down.

Turn, turn, turn the key,
Make the engine roar,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Let’s go to the store.

Press, press, press the pedal,
Give the engine gas,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Now we’re going fast.

Turn, turn, turn the wheel,
That is how we steer,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Make a turn right here.

Push, push, push the brake,
Make the car slow down,
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Now we are in town.

Old MacDonald had a truck,
E I E I O!
And on this truck, he had some wheels,

With a roll, roll here and a roll, roll there.
Here a roll, there a roll,
Everywhere a roll, roll!
Old MacDonald had a truck,
E I E I O!
