Snarling Jaws and Sharpened claws
We like to growl and roar
We do it all
For your applause
To hear you scream for more
But here’s a little secret that we seldom will disclose
We animals have a favourite dance
And this is how it goes!
First move to the right
Dressed in black and white
You’ll be dancing the animal calypso
Race around the ring
Start to sway and swing
Then you’re dancing the animal calypso
If you leap through the air
Take a chance if you dare
Climb upon a little stair
Wag your tail from here to their
Stand on your very tiptoe
And do the animal Calypso
Hitch a ride on a horses hide
But get here fast or slow
Twirl a rope
As you sit astride a beefy buffalo
Now stretch up tall
And heed the call
And then turn round and round
There’s no denying
A big old lion
When he hears
This jungle sound
If you turn up side down
While on an elephant’s crown
You’ll be dancing
The animal calypso
You don’t have to stoop
Or jump through a fiery hoop
To be dancing
The animal calypso
Kick your legs way up high
Make them reach for the sky
Don’t just around and purr
Come along
Shake your fur
It’s very, very hip so
Do the animal Calypso
It’s such a lovely thing
To join in the center ring
While you’re dancing
The Animal Calypso
It’s very, very hip so
Do the animal calypso
Hey man!
