Hocky Tocky Umba<br />

Leader: (spoken)<br />

This song is about an Eskimo hunter who is on a walrus<br />

hunt. It starts with the Eskimo paddling his kayak. To<br />

demonstrate this, everyone should cross their arms and<br />

move them in a seesaw fashion while singing:<br />

CHORUS<br />

Hocky Tocky Umba, Hocky Tocky Umba,<br />

Hey dittle, Hi dittle, Ho dittle Hey,<br />

Hocky Tocky Umba, Hocky Tocky Umba.<br />

Hey dittle, Hi dittle, Ho dittle, Hey!<br />

Leader: (spoken)<br />

The second part of this song shifts to the Eskimo hunter<br />

searching for his walrus. He places his hand on his<br />

forehead in a backward salute, moving his head from<br />

left to right, right to left, and left to right and switching<br />

hand on each line of the following verse.<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky.<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wauc cky<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky<br />

After spotting the walrus, the Eskimo hops back into his<br />

kayak, folds his arms, and sings the Chorus, and<br />

paddles nearer to the walrus.<br />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />

Leader: (spoken)<br />

In the next verse the Eskimo hunter shoots the walrus<br />

with an imaginary gun by using the index finger and<br />

thumb of the right hand. His left hand supports his right<br />

elbow and the right arm moves up and down as the gun<br />

shoots and recoils. Everyone moves their imaginary<br />

gun from left to right, right to left and left to right while<br />

singing:<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Boom”<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Boom”<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Boom”<br />

Leader: (spoken)<br />

After killing the walrus, the Eskimo hunter hops back<br />

into his kayak, folds his arms, sings the Chorus, and<br />

paddles over to claim his prize. After reaching the dead<br />

walrus, the Eskimo hunter pulls the heavy walrus over<br />

his kayak, he acts like he is lifting something very<br />

heavy, as he sings this verse strainingly:<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Uh”<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Uh:”<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky “Uh”<br />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />

he is very tired, he paddles very slowly and sings the<br />

Chorus very slowly, but he goes<br />

louder and faster because he wants to hurry home.<br />

When he arrives home, he is greeted by the people of<br />

his village. He waves frantically to them and shows his<br />

gigantic Eskimo teeth and sings:<br />

Hey Tacoma Mi shoo wau cky<br />

Hey Tacoma Hi shoo wau cky<br />

Hey Tacoma Hi shoo wau cky<br />

He folds his arms, paddles his kayak, and sings the<br />

Chorus. The hunt is finished.<br />

REPEAT CHORUS<br />
