Welcome to the Jungle

  

Down in the Jungle

There’s a big fat elephant washing his toes,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his toes!

Down in the jungle where there’s nobody there,

There’s a great big lion washing her hair,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way she washes his hair!

Down in the jungle, if you look in the trees,

There’s a cheeky monkey washing his knees,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his knees!

Down in the jungle if you care to check,

There’s a very tall giraffe washing his neck,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his neck!

Down at the river, if you look underneath,

There’s a great big crocodile brushing his teeth,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he brushes his teeth!

Down in the jungle, if you care to take a peek,

There’s a colorful bird cleaning it’s beak

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way she cleans her beak!

Construction Truck Song

Tune of “Mulberry Bush”

This is the way we scoop the dirt, scoop the dirt, scoop the dirt.

This is the way we scoop the dirt with a backhoe.

This is the way we dump the dirt, dump the dirt, dump the dirt.

This is the way we dump the dirt with a dump truck.

This is the way we lift things up… with a crane.

This is the way we mix things up…with a mixer.

Tap, a tap, a tap, tap.
Hear me pound,
Hear me pound!

Construction Song

The backhoe scoops the dirt,

Hey-ho! Look at it go!
The backhoe scoops the dirt.

The cement mixer spins...
The crane moves up and down...
