Puppet Story: Down in the Jungle
Down in the jungle where nobody goes,
There’s a big fat elephant washing his toes,
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way he washes his toes!
Down in the jungle where there’s nobody there,
There’s a great big lion washing her hair,
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way she washes his hair!
Down in the jungle, if you look in the trees,
There’s a cheeky monkey washing his knees,
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way he washes his knees!
Down in the jungle if you care to check,
There’s a hippopotamus washing his neck,
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way he washes his neck!
Down at the river, if you look underneath,
There’s a great big crocodile brushing his teeth,
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way he brushes his teeth!
Down in the jungle, if you care to take a peek,
There’s a colorful bird cleaning it’s beak
With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,
That’s the way she cleans her beak!
