I'm a Little Hunk of Tin (The Ford Song)

I'm a little hunk of tin,

Nobody knows where I have been.

Got four wheels and a running board,

I'm a four-by-four-by-four.

Honk-honk, rattle-rattle, rattle crash, beep-beep

Honk-honk, rattle-rattle, rattle crash, beep-beep

Honk-honk!

Actions:

Honk: pull ears

Rattle: shake head

Crash: cover face with hands

Beep: push on nose with flat of hand

Repeat the song a number of times, getting faster as you go. When I was a Guide, we played this song as a game: if someone kept singing after the song was over, they were "out" and had to go stand in the middle of the circle of singers!

Here's another version of the song, sent to me by Debbie Aldridge.

I’m a little hunk of tin,

Nobody knows what shape I’m in.

Got four wheels and a running board,

I’m a Ford, oh I’m a Ford.

Honk-honk, rattle-rattle, rattle crash, beep-beep

Honk-honk, rattle-rattle, rattle crash, beep-beep

Honk-honk, rattle-rattle, rattle crash, beep-beep

Honk-honk!

Here's a third version of the song, sent to me by Amy Ganyo.

Henry Ford was a grand old man

Took four wheels and an old tin can

Put it all together and the darned thing ran

Henry Ford was a grand old man

Chorus:

Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep

Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep

Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep

Honk, honk, rattle, crash, beep, beep

I'm a little hunk of tin

Held together with a bobby pin

My four wheels are low, low, low

But step on the gas and I go, go, go
