The Sharks in the Sea
(To the tune "The Wheels on the Bus")

The sharks in the sea go
Chomp, chomp, chomp,
(clap hands)
Chomp, chomp, chomp,
Chomp, chomp, chomp.
The sharks in the sea go
Chomp, chomp, chomp
All day long!

Other Verses
Fish go splash
(tap knees)
Lobsters go pinch
(make a claw with hand)
Clams go open and shut
(open and shut hands like a shell)
Octopus goes wiggle
(wiggle fingers)

Instead of "I am swimming" we sing "I am splashing" while tapping our knees.
