This is a fun song for kids with an easy-to-sing melody, whose text contains various modes of transport: a car, plane, tractor, train, bicycle, and boat. When Sandra thought of the song, it didn't sound like anything special to her, and she couldn't even imagine that kids were going to love it! It turned out that the repetitive parts have an indescribable charm, so the song has become really popular among kids.
lyrics
♫HEY HEY OFF WE GO - Lyrics!
Hey, hey, off we go
We’re travelling around
Here, there, everywhere,
Sea, sky and ground.
I’m a little car - brm, brm, brm.
I’m a little car - brm, brm, brm.
I’m a little engine - choo, choo, choo.
I’m a little engine - choo, choo, choo.
I’m a little boat - splash, splash, splash.
I’m a little boat - splash, splash, splash.
I’m a little tractor - track -a, track-a, tack.
I’m a little tractor - track -a, track-a, tack.
I’m a little plane - zoom, zoom, zoom.
I’m a little plane - zoom, zoom, zoom..♫

Hi, I'm Sandra! I like to sing, and love even more when children sing with me. That's why I became a composer and songwriter
for children, as well as a music teacher! It is a real pleasure to mix words and tones into rhythms, melodies and harmonies, and enable children to enjoy these musical stories....more
