Little Fishie Dance (Or: the Mermaid Mambo!)
Thanks very much to Sue Hutchinson, Willow Bluffs Area
Arts Trainer, who wrote this song "on the spot" :-) and
then posted it to the Guiding Mailing List! I'm gonna have to get
her to teach me how to do it someday...
- The mermaid went a-swommin'
- A-swimmin' with a whale
- She combed her pretty mer-hair (mime brushing hair)
- She swished her swishy tail (turn around and wiggle
bum)
- The fishies who were swimmin'
- Started in to prance
- So she jumped into the water
- And they did the fishie dance
They wiggled to the left
- They wiggled to the right
- They wiggled 'round in circles
- It was such a funny sight!
- They saw some crabs a-crawlin'
- Along the ocean floor
- They invited them to join them
- And they danced around some more (get down on hands
and knees)
They crab-crawled to the left
- They crab-crawled to the right
- They crawled around in circles
- It was such a pretty sight
- They saw some dolphins diving
- Along the wave tops white
- They invited them to join them
- They partied through the night (diving motions with
hands)
They dove to the left
- They dove to the right
- They dove around in circles
- It was such a funny sight
- They saw some seahorses racing
- Along the seabeds green
- They said, "hey that really looks like fun,
- Come join our happenin' scene!" (galloping)
So they galloped to the left
- And they galloped to the right
- They raced around in circles
- It was such a funny sight
- They saw some sharks a-waiting
- With their big jaws open wide
- So they said, "hey guys thanks for the dance!"
- And they ran away to hide!
