Hello. We’re going on a musical adventure around the world. Where will we stop today? Brilliant. We’re on our way to West Africa.
And look, it’s Peggy, the pygmy hippo making waves in the water. Shall we join in?
Make sure you’ve got plenty of space to stretch out your arms. Try to follow the moves or make up your own dance and groove to the music.
The sun comes up in the east and it sets over the sea.
We dance in time to the music.
Oh so happy and free.
The crocodile in the water, the monkey up in the tree.
We’re all inviting you to be a pygmy hippo like me.
Step, splash in the water.
Step, splash in the water.
Push your hands to the sky one time.
Now push to the other side.
Step, splash in the water.
