Off on a ferry, not far away,
To join the museums special day.
Over the water a couple of nights
A ferry journey to the Isle of Wight.

Come along and take a look
At a few stories in a bus book,
Buses to ride on, buses to play
The Whightrider event is a special day.

See you there, come and say hello Take your time, buses are slow.
Catch the bus with the open top
Where will it go, where will it stop?

A bus museum is a perfect place for a bus story
