Out on the African plains all day.

CHORUS:
Going on a lion hunt.
But I’m not afraid!
‘Cause I’m smart and I’m strong,
And I’m very, very brave.
[Recite 1st part]
I see some grass.
It’s very tall grass.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under it.
Gotta go through it.
(Make noises by brushing palms
together.)
[Repeat 1st Part]
I see a tree.
A very tall tree.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under it.
Gotta chop it down.
(Make chopping movements with
hands.)
[Repeat 1st part]
I see some mud.
Ooey-gooey mud.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under it.
Gotta go through it.
(Make squishy sounds with hands

[Repeat 1st part]
I see a cave.
A dark spooky cave.
Can’t go over it.
Can’t go under it.
Gotta go inside it.
(Wave open hands in front of

[Repeat 1st part]
I see something furry.
Something big and furry!
(SCREAM)
It’s a LION!! RUN!!!
Run out of the cave,
Through the mud puddle,
Over the chopped down tree,
Through the grassy place,
Run inside and slam the door.

African Safari Animal Song Lyrics by
Diana Colson
Oh, I’m going on an African safari, Oh, I’m
going on an African safari, Oh, I’m going on an
African safari, Oh, won’t you come along
with me?
I hope I’ll see some lions on safari, Oh, I
hope I’ll see some zebras on safari, Oh, I hope
I’ll see some cheetahs on safari, Oh, won’t
you come along with me? Oh, won’t you
come along with me? Oh, won’t you come
along with me?
