Jaws (Shark Song)
(actions in brackets)
(I've also come across numerous versions of this song
with the word "shark" substituted for "Jaws".)
-
I've got a story (wave index fingers back and forth)
- About Jaws (one hand over head as a shark fin)
- Fetus Jaws (chomping motion with index finger and
thumb)
- Baby Jaws (chomp with two fingers and thumb)
- Child Jaws (chomp with whole hand)
- Teenage Jaws (chomp with two hands)
- Adult Jaws (chomp with arms)
- Giant Jaws (chomp using arm and leg)
- Grandpa Jaws (chomp with two hands, fingers curled
inwards i.e. toothless)
- Lady swimming (front crawl)
- Waster's flying (splash water up beside face)
- Jaws swimming (shark fin over head)
- Lady screams: (cup hands around mouth)
- "AAK! Where's my leg?!" (hop on one leg)
- Jaws swimming (one hand as shark fin above head, other
patting tummy)
- And that's my story (wiggle index fingers back and
forth)
- About JAWS! (clap hands, throw one arm forward and
the other back as if saying "ta da"!)
Thanks very much to Sarah Wright, who sent me this
version of the song! At her camp, they sing it as a repeating song.
