The Magic School Bus Theme Song

Title: "Ride on the Magic School Bus"

Written By: "Peter Lurye"

Performed By: "Little Richard"

Cruisin' on down Main Street
You're relaxed and feeling good
Next thing that you know
You're seein'Octopus in the neighborhood!

Surfin' on a sound wave
Then you're swingin' through the stars
Take a left at your intestine
Take your second right past Mars.

On The Magic School Bus, Navigate a nostril
Climb on The Magic School Bus, Spank a plankton, too
On our Magic School Bus (Raft a river of lava)
On the Magic School Bus (Such a fine thing to do)!

So strap your bones right to the seat
Come on in and don't be shy
Just to make your day complete
You might get baked into a pie!

On The Magic School Bus,Step inside, it's a wild ride!
Come on! Ride on The Magic School Bus!
