I sing this one at the park. We listen to sounds that we can hear, and make up the verses as we go along.
This builds up cumulatively.
I spy with my little eye, you can hear with your little ear.
The dog in the park goes woof woof woof,
And we all go travelling by by by, and we all go travelling by.
I spy with my little eye, you can hear with your little ear.
The horn on the car goes beep beep beep,
The dog in the park goes woof woof woof,
And we all go travelling by by by, and we all go travelling by.
Add new verses together.

Using with phonics
I also use the same song while learning our letter sounds. Child sings bold type (maybe more, depending on ability). There may be a pause before the answer, that’s fine!
I spy with my little eye, you can hear with your little ear.
We’re looking for things that start with a ‘c’
‘c’ is for car 1, 2, 3,
What else can Samuel see?
‘c’ is for cat 1, 2, 3,
And we all go travelling by by by, and we all go travelling by.
