Crazy Elephant

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
