Song:

C-A-R Song
(Tune of "Bingo")

Look at my bright shiny car,
I'm driving it today!
C-A-R, beep, beep.
C-A-R, beep, beep.
C-A-R, beep, beep.
I'm driving it today!
 

Craft:

Tube Racer Craft 
from FamilyFun.com
Go, Tube Racer, Go!

I punched out holes in the tubes beforehand, and had wheels pre-cut. I had the children decorate the tubes with crayons and stickers and then attach their own wheels. Not as slick-looking as the original, but fit the time constaints for my craft.
