3. Animals Are Dancing
Written by Steve Van Zandt

CHORUS:
Animals are dancin’ (Animals are dancin’)
To a natural rhythm (To a natural rhythm)
It’s an animal party (It’s an animal party)
We can join in with them. (We can join in with them.)

Wiggle and shake (Wiggle and shake)
We are doing the snake (We are doing the snake)
Do the crocodile (Do the crocodile)
With a big wide smile (big wide smile)
Soar like a hawk (Soar like a hawk)
Or do the penguin walk. (do the penguin walk)
Whatever animals can do,
We can do it too. Let’s try and do it too.
We can do it too. We can do it too.
CHORUS

Get down real low (Get down real low )
Do the tortoise real slow (Do the tortoise real slow)
Jump up high (Jump up high)
Do the dragonfly (Do the dragonfly)
Waltz with a pig (Waltz with a pig)
Or do the bumblebee jig (do the bumblebee jig)
Whatever animals can do,
We can do it too. Let’s try and do it too.
We can do it too. We can do it too.

BRIDGE:
Animals are swimming, animals are digging,
Hopping, walking, flying everywhere
Each leg and tail and beak
Has a movement so unique.
They can move across the water, land and air.
CHORUS

Do the iguana tango (iguana tango)
With a pink flamingo (With a pink flamingo)
Do the sloth real slow (Do the sloth real slow)
Or the cheetah on the go (the cheetah on the go)
Strut like a skunk (Strut like a skunk)
Or do the baboon funk (do the baboon funk)
Whatever animals can do,
We can do it too. Let’s try and do it too.
We can do it too. Let’s try and do it too.

Do the fishy flop (fishy flop)
The froggy hop (froggy hop)
We be rompin’ with raccoons (romp with raccoons)
Swinging with baboons (Swinging with baboons)
Do the Moosie munch (Moosie munch)
Ants are dancing with your lunch (Ants are dancing with your lunch)
Penguin parade (Penguin parade)
Please don’t be afraid.
Let’s Dance!
Dance, dance dance!
Everybody take a chance and dance.
