There was a Crocodile
there was a crocodile who lived in the glade (open and close hand for mouth)
he swam in the swamp (twist arms side to side)
and napped in the shade (pretend to sleep)
he snapped at a bird (open and close hands)
he snapped at a bee (repeat)
he snapped at a frog (repeat)
AND he snapped at me (repeat)
he caught the bird (open and close hands)
he caught the bee (repeat)
he caught the frog (repeat)
but he didn't catch me! (shake head NO)
