| Now it's going forward | (hold baby, lean forward) |
| Now it's going back | (hold baby, lean back) |
| Now the whistle blows | (blow gently on baby's check) |
| Whooooo, Whooooooo | |
| What a lot of noise it makes... | |
| Everywhere it goes | (tickle baby's arms and legs) |
| Chooo-chooo-chooo! | |
| The train comes running back | |

Preschoolers
