Crazy Elephant is an action campfire song.

Lyrics

There was a crocodile, an orangutan, a flying eagle* and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant.
Na-na-na na na na, na-na-na na na na.

*"flying eagle" is sometimes replaced by "hippopotamus"

Actions:

  • crocodile: clap hands together, arms outstretched like a crocodile's jaws
  • orangutan: scratch ribs or under arms
  • eagle: sweep arms outstretched like wings
  • hippopotamus: bend knees and arms and wag bottom, wallowing in mud
  • fish: hands together to represent a fish, make swimming motions from side to side
  • bunny: hands on top of head like ears
  • beaver: pointer fingers for teeth, pointing down
  • elephant: arm by the nose like a trunk
