A Crocodile
A song for counting…
A Crocodile
Children's Song
(Chorus)
One crocodile
In the river, in the river, in the river Nile
One crocodile, went to see the elephant
saying goodbye to her family!
Two crocodiles, went to see the elephant
saying goodbye to their family!
Three crocodiles, went to see the elephant
saying goodbye to their family!
Notes
Haider wrote:
Crocodile is spelled in Uganda the same as everywhere but in the song it has to end with the letter O. And notice the O after goodbye. So here is how it goes..
One crocodilo went to see the elephant
Saying goodbye-O to her family.
And the croco and the croco and the crocodilo
In the river in the river in the river Nile-O.
.. and then two and three and four, etc. etc...
