This is the way the elephant goes
With a curly trunk instead of a nose
The rhino all hairy and fat
Has a sharp horn in place of a hat
The hippo with his mouth so wide
Let's see what's inside
The wiggley snake upon the ground
Crawls along without a sound
But monkey see, monkey do
I the funniest animal I ever knew!
Note: Make actions for each animal (swing arms like elephant nose, put hands on head for rhino's hat, etc) (Sung To: "London Bridge") I went to the jungle one-day, jungle one day, jungle one-day
I saw a monkey on the way and this is what he said, "oh-oh-oh-oh"
I went to the jungle one-day, jungle one day, jungle one-day
I saw a lion on the way and this is what he said, "roar"
went to the jungle one-day, jungle one day, jungle one-day
I saw a snake on the way and this is what he said, "hiss" (Sung to: "The Muffin Man") Do you know the slimy snake, the slimy snake, the slimy snake
Oh do you know the slimy snake that lives deep in the jungle?
Do you know the chimpanzee, the chimpanzee, the chimpanzee
Oh do you know the chimpanzee that lives deep in the jungle?
Do you know the wildebeest, the wildebeest, the wildebeest
Oh do you know the wildebeest that lives deep in the jungle?
Do you know the crocodile, the crocodile, the crocodile
Oh do you know the crocodile that lives deep in the jungle?
Do you know the mountain lion, the mountain lion, the mountain lion
Oh do you know the mountain lion that lives deep in the jungle?

Note: Add Additional Animals (Sung To: "I'm a Little Teapot") I'm a little zebra white and black
With a bush mane running down my back
I like to gallop and run and play
Out on the African plains all day. The monkey stomp, stomps, stomps his feet

Monkey see, monkey do

Swinging by my tail so merrily
I can leap and fly from tree to tree

Munching on bananas every day
Lots of monkey friends to play with me
We have fun up in the tree. (Sung To: "The Wheels on the Bus")

Hear me roar, hear me roar
I love to sleep out in the sun
And chase other animals just for fun
