Tune: The Wheels on the Bus
The waves in the ocean go up and down
Up and down, up and down
The waves in the ocean go up and down
All day long!

The fish in the ocean go swim, swim, swim
Swim, swim, swim
Swim, swim, swim
The fish in the ocean go swim, swim, swim
All day long!

The eels in the ocean go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
The eels in the ocean go wiggle, wiggle, wiggle
All day long!

Scarf Song: “Fish Dance” by Johnette Downing

We pretended our scarves were fish swimming along popping bubbles.

Bubbly, bubbly, bubble bath (wiggle all ten fingers)
Fill to the top (raise fingers overhead)
Listen to the bubbly bubbles (cup hand to ear)
Pop! Pop! Pop! (clap three times)
