We’re Going On A Lion Hunt Lyrics

We’re going on a lion hunt
and we’re not scared (x3)

Oh, oh! Long grass
Chop, chop, chop, chop

REPEAT

Oh, oh! Puddles
Splish, splash, splish, splash!

REPEAT

Oh, oh! Mud
Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp!

REPEAT

Oh, oh! Bridge
Clop, clop, clop, clop!

REPEAT

Oh, oh! Cave
Tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe!

REPEAT

Oh, oh! Two eyes, whiskers, teeth
Tip-toe, tip-toe, tip-toe,
Clop, clop, clop, clop
Slurp, slurp, slurp, slurp
Splish, splash, splish, splash
Chop, chop, chop, chop.
Shut the gate.
Phew!

We went on a lion hunt
and we weren’t scared (x3)
Well... maybe just a little!
