Songs: Zoo Animals Theme 1

THE ELEPHANT (Tune:The mulberry bush)- The elephant goes like this and that, this and that, this and that. (Walk heavily and stomp feet) The elephant goes like this and that, cause he's so big and he's so fat! (Puff up cheeks and stretch out arms) He has no fingers and has no toes, He has no fingers and has no toes. (Wiggle fingers; wiggle toes) He has no fingers and has no toes, But goodness, gracious, what a nose! (Pull hands out from face to suggest a long trunk.)

UNDERNEATH THE MONKEY TREE (Tune:The muffin man)- Come and play awhile with me, Underneath the monkey tree. Monkey See and Monkey Do, Just like monkeys in the zoo. Swing your tail, one, two, three, Underneath the monkey tree. Monkey See and Monkey Do, Just like monkeys in the zoo. Jump around and smile like me, Underneath the monkey tree. Monkey See and Monkey Do, Just like monkeys in the zoo.

WE ARE GOING TO THE ZOO (Tune:London bridge)- We are going to the zoo,to the zoo,to the zoo. We are going to the zoo,Won't you join us too? We'll see lions,tigers too,tigers too,tigers too. We'll see lions,tigers too,All at the zoo. We will find some chimpanzees,chimpanzees,chimpanzees. We will find some chimpanzees,Swinging from the trees. We will look for kangaroos,kangaroos,kangaroos. We will look for kangaroos,Hopping at the zoo.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE ZOO (Tune:Take me out the ballgame)- Take me out for some good fun,Take me out to the zoo. Let me visit the tall giraffe,I want to hear the hyenas laugh. Now I love to visit the zoo,I could stay there all day, And watch birds, seals, rhinos, and hippos. As they play.

IF I WERE (Tune:The mulberry bush)- Oh,if I were a tiny snake,a tiny snake,a tiny snake. Oh,if I were a tiny snake,I'd slither around the zoo. Oh,if I were an elephant,an elephant,an elephant. Oh,if I were an elephant,I'd march around the zoo. Oh,if I were a kangaroo,a kangaroo,a kangaroo. Oh,if I were a kangaroo,I'd hop around the zoo.

WHAT CAN A MONKEY SEE (Tune:Skip to my lou)- What can a monkey see from a tree? What can a monkey see from a tree? What can a monkey see from a tree? It can see ---------- from a tree. (Note: Pause after "see " and have a child name something a monkey can see from a tree.)

I'M A LITTLE TEAPOT (Tune:I'm a little teapot)- I'm a little monkey in the tree. Swinging by my tail so merrily. I can leap and fly from tree to tree.I have lots of fun you see. I'm a little monkey, watch me play. Munching on bananas every day. Lots of monkey friends to play with me. We have fun up the tree.
