Wild Animals Monkeys On the Bed Five little monkeys jumping on the bed One fell off and bumped his head Mama called the doctor and the doctor said, " No more monkeys jumping on the bed!" Four little monkeys jumping on the bed, Three little monkeys jumping on the bed,... (and so on). I'm a little monkey I'm a little monkey in the tree Swinging by my tail so merrily I can leap and fly for tree to tree I have lots of fun you see. Munching on bananas everyday. If you meet a crocodile If you meet a crocodile never tease or poke him. And never trust his friendly smile, be careful not to stroke him. He seems asleep in the river Nile, his body looks much thinner than at the zoo, but the crocodile is always ready for his dinner. 1
The Lion Roars With a Fearful Sound The lion roars with a fearful sound, Roar, roar, roar! The lion creeps, its prey to catch, Creep, creep, creep! The lion pounces with a mighty leap, Leap, leap, leap! The lion eats with a crunching sound, Crunch, crunch, crunch! The lion sleeps with a gentle snore, Snore, snore, snore! (Mabel Segun ) Penguins Their suits are black and their vests are white. They waddle to the left and they waddle to the right. They stand on the ice and they look very neat, As they waddle along on their little flat feet. Penguin Shuffle Penguins shuffle shuffle to the Left left left Penguins shuffle shuffle shuffle to the Right right right Give a little wiggle Give a little hop Waddle round the iceberg Never want to stop! 2
An elephant goes like this and that An elephant goes like this and that, (pat knees) He's terribly big, (hands high) And he's terribly fat; (hands wide) He has no fingers, (wiggle fingers) And hs no toes, (touch toes) But goodness gracious, What a long nose! (curl hands away from nose) Eletelephony Once there was an elephant, Who tried to use the telephant - No! no! I mean an elephone Who tried to use the telephone - (Dear me! I am not certain quite That even now I ve got it right.) Howe er it was, he got his trunk Entangled in the telephunk; The more he tried to get it free, The louder buzzed the telephee - (I fear I d better drop the song Of elephop and telephong!) (Laura E. Richards ) 3
Zoo Chorus: Zoo, zoo, who's in the zoo? Zoo, zoo, who's in the zoo? Zoo, zoo, who's in the zoo? Who's in the zoo to visit? Monkeys swinging on a tree, Sheep and lions grazing free, Tall giraffes, a sight to see! Deer with antlers on their head, Hippos waiting to be fed, Peacocks with their feaathers spread, Polar bears all getting wet, Baby goats that I can pet, Elephants I won't forget, (Meish Goldish ) Zu singen nach der Melodie: Skip to my Lou 4
Giraffes are tall Giraffes are tall, with necks so long. (Stand on tip toes; raise arms high up into air.) Elephants' trunks are big and strong. (Make trunk with hand and arm.) Zebras have stripes and can gallop away,, (Gallop around in a circle.) While monkeys in the trees do sway. (Sway back and forth.) Old crocodile swims in a pool so deep, (Pretend to swim.) Or lies in the sun and goes to sleep. (Lay head on hands and close eyes.) I see I see, I see, I see an elephant at the zoo. I see, I see, I see a little monkey, too. I see, I see, I see a tiger at the zoo. I see, I see, I see a baby giraffe, too. I see, I see, I see a crocodile at the zoo. I see, I see, I see a little camel, too. I see, I see, I see a lion at the zoo. I see, I see, I see a baby bear, too. 5
