We’re Going On A Lion Hunt
Sing and Learn the Actions!
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!
