Stomp like elephants!
Let's go to the zoo.
And stomp like the elephants do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And stomp like the elephants do.
[Stomp around the room like elephants]
Jump like kangaroos.
Let's go to the zoo.
And jump like the kangaroos do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And jump like the kangaroos do.
[Jump around the room like kangaroos]
Swing like monkeys.
Let's go to the zoo.
And swing like the monkeys do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And swing like the monkeys do.
[Swing around the room like monkeys]
Waddle like penguins.
Let's go to the zoo.
And waddle like the penguins do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And waddle like the penguins do.
[Waddle around the room like penguins]
Slither like snakes.
Let's go to the zoo.
And slither like the snakes do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And slither like the snakes do.
[Slither around the room like snakes]
Swim like polar bears.
Let's go to the zoo.
And swim like the polar bears do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And swim like the polar bears do.
[Swim around the room like polar bears]
Let's go to the zoo.
And dance like the animals do.
Let's go to the zoo.
And dance like the animals do.

I'm an elephant
Strong and elegant
Stomping through the jungle
Making the ground rumble.
I'm an elephant
Strong and elegant
Stomping through the jungle
Making the ground rumble.
In the forest, you can find me
Trunk in front and tail behind me
Footsteps echo just like thunder
Those around me they watch in wonder
I'm an elephant
Strong and elegant
Stomping through the jungle
Making the ground rumble.
Every time I jump
I really make a thump,
When I stomp my knees
Monkey falls from trees.
Every time I jump
I really make a thump,
When I stomp my knees
Monkey falls from trees.
In the forest, you can find me
Trunk in front and tail behind me
Footsteps echo just like thunder
Those around me they watch in wonder
I'm an elephant
Strong and elegant
Stomping through the jungle
Making the ground rumble.
I'm an elephant
Strong and elegant
Stomping through the jungle
Making the ground rumble.

Will you be a friend of mine,

A friend of mine, a friend of mine?

Will you be a friend of mine
And clap along with me?
