Shark mouth with two fingers
Baby shark, do do do do do do
Baby shark, do do do do do do
Baby shark, do do do do do do
Baby shark

Shark mouth with hands connected at wrist
Momma shark, do do do do do do

Shark mouth like momma shark but with fists
Grandma shark, ma ma ma ma ma ma

Swimming motion with arms
Going swimming, do do do do do do
Going swimming, do do do do do do
Going swimming, do do do do do do
Going swimming

Shark fin over head
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming

Swimming motion again, but faster
Swimming faster, do do do do do do
Swimming faster, do do do do do do
Swimming faster, do do do do do do
Swimming faster

Shark fin again, more frantic
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming, do do do do do do
Sharks a’coming

SHARK ATTACK (yelled altogether)

Swimming motion with elbow
Lost an arm, do do do do do do
Lost an arm, do do do do do do
Lost an arm, do do do do do do
Lost an arm

One hand on head like a shark fin, other hand rubbing stomach
Happy shark, do do do do do do
Happy shark, do do do do do do
Happy shark, do do do do do do
Happy shark

CPR motions
CPR, do do do do do do
CPR, do do do do do do
CPR, do do do do do do
CPR

CPR faster
It’s not working, do do do do do do
It’s not working, do do do do do do
It’s not working, do do do do do do
It’s not working
Now you’re dead.


[Koo Koo Kanga Roo]

    • I love all the variations! In the one I grew up with (which seems to be a combination of a few of these), the Shark Family was the same. And of course the repeating “Doo Doo Doos.
      But then you:
      Go Swimming….. (pretend swim)
      See a Shark….. (hand over eyebrow and look around)
      Swim Faster….. (pretend swim faster)
      Shark Attack!….. (flail wildly)
      Lose My Arm….. (flail with 1 Arm behind back)
      Lose My Leg….. (flail with missing Arm AND on one leg)
      Lose My Head…. (flail, one armed, one legged, head tucked down)
      9-1-1….. (pretend phone call)
      CPR….. (rhythmic chest thumps)
      It’s too late….. (tap watch)
      Went to heaven….. (prayer hands, S movement toward the sky)
      Came back as aaaaaa….BABY SHARK! (Make the baby shark mouth again)
