This is a simple and funny action song about sea creatures moving through the water before GULP is eaten by something a little bigger...before a humongous whale comes and BURP! This is great for children learning about different types of sea creatures.
Five cranky crabs were digging on the shore.
One swam into a net and then there were four.
Four cranky crabs were floating in the sea.
One got tangled up in seaweed then there were three.
Three cranky crabs were wondering what to do.
One dug a deep, deep hole. Then there were two.
Two cranky crabs were warming in the sun.
One got scooped up in a cup. Then there was one.
One cranky crab was smarter than his friends.
He hid between the jagged rocks.
That's how the story ends.
A whale is not as small as us,
Most whales are bigger than a bus.
A whale is not a fish in the sea,
A whale breathes air like you and me.
A whale can’t walk upon the ground,
A whale must swim to get around.
A whale is a mammal like you and me,
But his home is in the deep blue sea.
A whale is not as small as us (shake head and finger)
Most whales are bigger than a bus (stretch arms out wide)
A whale is not a fish in the sea (shake head and finger)
A whale breathes air like you and me (take a deep breath)
A whale can’t walk upon the ground (shake head and finger)
A whale must swim to get around (make a swimming motion)
A whale is a mammal like you and me (nod head and point to self and others)
But his home is in the deep blue sea. (make wave motion)
