The waves on the sea go up and down, [Raise and lower arms.]
Up and down, up and down,
The waves on the sea go up and down
All day long.

The shark in the sea goes snap snap snap…[Clap your hands.]

The fish in the sea go swish swish swish…[Swish back and forth.]

The boats in the sea go toot toot toot…[Make blowing horn motion.]
