The tigers in the jungle go roar, roar, roar.
Roar, roar, roar.
Roar, roar, roar.
The tigers in the jungle go roar, roar, roar.
All day long.
The crocodiles go snap, snap, snap...
The elephants go stomp, stomp, stomp...
The hippos go yawn, yawn, yawn...

At the zoo, I saw a bear,
He had curly brown furry hair.
I saw a lion in his cage,
He roared in a terrible rage.
I saw an orange long-necked giraffe,
And a silly monkey that made me laugh.
But my favorite animal at the zoo,
Is the elephant. How about you?
Five Giant Elephants Jumping on the Bed
(By Debbie Brightwell Brown. Sing to the tune of “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the
Bed.” Cut five elephants and the bed from felt, paper, or fun foam using the patterns
provided at the end of this chapter. Put all five elephants above the bed on the flannel
board and take them off one at a time as you recite the rhyme. Repeat the verse, counting
down four, three, two, and one elephants on the bed.)
Five giant elephants jumping on the bed.
One fell off and bumped his head.
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more elephants jumping on the bed.”
