Out on a Lion Hunt (Alternative version)

Song Refrain
Going on a lion hunt
I'm not afraid
I'm going to catch me a BIG lion!
(Spread arms to demonstrate the word "big" as you say the word.)


But look! What's that ahead?
(Raise your head to your forehead, as though you were looking far away.)
Uh-oh. There's mud ahead!
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Better go through it
 (Make sloshing sounds and move hands and feet as if wading through mud.)

 Refrain  

Uh-oh. There's a lake ahead.
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Better swim through it
(Make swimming motions.)

Refrain  

Uh-oh. There's a gate ahead.
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Better go through it
(Gesture as if you open a gate, walk through, and close it.)



Refrain  

Uh-oh. There's tall grass ahead
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
We'd better crawl through it
(If room permits, children can crawl around.)

Refrain   

Uh-oh. There's a cave ahead.
Can't go over it
Can't go under it
Can't go around it
Guess we'll have to walk into it

It's dark in here
I see two shining lights
I feel something furry
I feel a c-c-c-cold nose
I feel s-s-s-sharp teeth
It's a lion!!
(Shiver and make terrified faces.)

Run out of the cave!
Crawl through the grass
Open the gate
Swim across the lake
Wade through the mud
Run into the house
Close the door
Run up the front stairs
Crawl under your bed
