I’m a Little Zebra
(Sung To: “I’m a Little Teapot”)
I’m a little zebra white and black
With a bush mane running down my back
I like to gallop and run and play
Out on the African plains all day
I’m a Giraffe
I’m a big tall giraffe stretching way up high (reach arms up)
A big tall giraffe, I almost reach the sky (stand on tiptoes)
I eat the leaves from the tallest trees (pretend to eat)
And when I run, I move with ease (pretend to run)
I’m a big tall giraffe stretching way up high (reach arms up)
Way…up…high! (reach on tiptoes)
5 Little Lions
One little lion, roaring at the zoo,
Called for another: ROAR!
Then there were two.
Two little lions, underneath a tree,
Called for another:
ROAR! ROAR! Then there were three.
Three little lions, who heard a distant roar, Called for another: ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! Then there were four.
Four little lions, happy and alive,
Called for another: ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!
Then there were five.
Five little lions, ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! Ran off to play and then there were no more.
