The Animals in
the Ocean |
|
|
|
(Tune:
Wheels on the Bus)
The
sharks in the sea go chomp, chomp, chomp!
chomp,
chomp, chomp!
chomp,
chomp, chomp!
The
sharks in the sea go chomp, chomp, chomp!
All
through the day!
(see
more verses below...)
The fish
in the sea go swim, swim, swim...
The
lobsters in the sea go pinch, pinch, pinch...
The
octopus in the sea go wiggle wiggle wiggle...
The sea
horse in the sea rocks back and forth...
The
whale in the sea goes quirt squirt squirt...
The clam
in the sea goes open and shut...
The
crabs in the sea go click click click...

Oceans
(Tune: "My
Bonnie")
Atlantic's the name of an ocean.
Pacific and Indian, too.
The Arctic is often forgotten.
I can name the oceans, can you?
Oceans, oceans, oceans of beautiful blue.
Oceans, oceans, I can name the oceans.
Can you? |
