The Wheels on the Bus

The Wheels on the Bus（《巴士上嘅車轆》）係首美國民歌，由蔚娜曉司（Verna Hills，1898-1990）創作。 已知最早出版嘅歌詞係 1937 年 12 月號嘅 American Childhood《美國童年》，原名叫 The Bus（《巴士》），原本首歌嘅詞係「The Wheels of the bus」（巴士嘅車轆），唔係而家嘅「The Wheels on the bus」（巴士上嘅車轆），每節嘅結尾嗰句都同之前嘅內容有拏褦la1 nang2，而唔係而家每節結尾都係嗰句「all through the town」（有啲版本「all day long」）。

呢首歌喺英國，美國，澳洲，加拿大，瑞典，意大利，丹麥，荷蘭，巴西，香港都係流行嘅兒歌。因為節奏重複，首歌易記易唱。類似嘅歌有 99 Bottles of Beer （《九十九樽啤酒》），同首歌承傳傳統英國歌 《Here We Go Around the Mulberry Bush》 嘅風格。

粵語版

因為首歌好熱門，喺港澳地區都有人填咗粵語嘅詞。好似《齊坐上架汽車》同《巴士的大轆》。《齊坐上架汽車》開頭係「齊坐上架汽車，整天轉，圈又圓，整天轉」，歌詞創作成分多一啲，同原本歌詞意思差咗一截。《巴士的大轆》開頭係「巴士的大碌轉又轉，轉又轉」，歌詞比較跟原本歌詞，不過有歪音。
