, was premiered on September 13, 2007. The video starts with Lil Mama talking to a producer about her single "Lip Gloss" and saying how big "Tour Bus" will be. (Note that when she leaves the building, the maroon awning reads "CHATEAU MAMA" in white letters.) Then, her little sister tells her she doesn't have a tour bus. Using her magic dance moves, she creates one. The next scene shows kids in a neighborhood dancing, when an ice cream truck with lip gloss inside comes.

Lil' Mama and some backup dancers are then seen dancing. It then cuts to daytime where the children from the intro are shown singing the chorus of the song, after which the song ends.
