One of my favorite storytime songs is 'The Wheels on the Bus." There's actions, most people know the song so you get participation, and it just plain works. One thing I like to do with this is song is to use the name of my town instead of "all through the town." The parents and kids always get a kick out of this.
With older kids, you could get out a map and use local street names ("up Washington Street," etc.--don't worry about it fitting the song perfectly) and trace a route from somewhere in the city (a school, park, etc.) to the library. This would be a great activity for parents to do with their kids at home.

What are some other possibilities?
Oh, great idea! I love it. Thanks for sharing!
