crocodile song

[sweets]

i got my oral b crocodile puppet today, and since he came ive been trying to think of croc songs as i thought i would use for an activity session at toddler group.
one song is bugging me though, i can only remember the end, it finishes with

.......teasy mr crocodile you can't catch me, along came mr crocodile as mean as he can be and SNAP when the crocodile oh dear me!

Anyone know the beggining?

We sing one like that - 3 little monkeys swinging in a tree, teasing mr crocodile you can't catch me, along came the crocodile as hungry as can be and SNAP went the crocodile thankyou for my tea!

the croc one we know is the monkey one too a wee bit different though

3 cheeky monkeys
swinging from a tree
teasing Mr crocodile
"you can't catch me"
along came Mr crocodile as quiet as can be (whisper this bit)
SNAP (and clap hands) went the crocodile and then there were 2 cheeky moneys.........

I love finding out different versions of songs

oh and the 2nd verse to row your boat

Row row row your boat
gently down the stream
if you see a crocodile
don't forget to scream (cue loud screaming LOL )

Row row row your boat
gently down the river
if you see a polar bear
don't forget to shiver

row row row your boat
gently across the lake
if you hear a hissing sound
it's probably a snake (and then make a hissing sound)

Row row row your boat
gently across the shore
if you see a lion
don't forget to roar (and then roar)

another one


row row row your boat
gently round the bath
if you see a rubber duck
don't forget to laugh
(ha ha ha)

[Daddy Day Care]

another one


row row row your boat
gently round the bath
if you see a rubber duck
don't forget to laugh
(ha ha ha)

yup we do this one as well, along with:

row row row your boat
gently in the park
if you see a doggy there
don't forget to bark

rembered another one

row row row your boat
gently down the stream
ha ha fooled you (put hand on head fingers pointing up)
i'm a submarine

[zillervalley]

rembered another one

row row row your boat
gently down the stream
ha ha fooled you (put hand on head fingers pointing up)
i'm a submarine

soap, soap, soap and flannel
towel and water please
wash your hands and then your face
now wash you dirty knees

[Twinkles]

I'm not sure where this one came from ( my kids may have made it up )

Row row row your boat
gently across the floor
splish splosh lemon squash
who could ask for more

[angiemog]

Rock Rock Rock your boat (you rock side to side for this verse!!)
To the other side
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to hide

3 little monkeys is one of our favourites although i cant help thinking its a little gruesome ,
we also like

im a ferociuos(sp) crocodile i o i o i o,(make crocodile shape with hand)
see my mouth is open wide i o i o i o,
here comes a little fish swimmming by (make fish with hand)
i wonder if he'll swim inside
oh no, oh no, oh no (and fish escapes )

[hello kitty]

We like this one:

Snap, Snap, Snap
A crocodile sat on my lap
I stroked it ever so gently
and now he's taking a nap (Whisper)

Snap, Snap, Snap
He's woken from his nap
And now he wants his breakfast,
Snap, Snap, Snap (Shout)

This usually involves me chasing the children around the garden!

im a greedy crocodile
great big teeth,
and a sparkly smile
you come here and in a while
you will be my dinner
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 snap snap snap
now ive had my dinner!



count really slowly and the anticipation really builds up! cant think what the tune is called that you sing it to, will come back and let you know ive got my brain in
