Join Andy Day and Rebecca Keatley to sing about the West African folk-tale character Anansi. The song is part of our KS1 Music series 'Traditional Tales'.
Anansi went walking
Anansi and Snake went walking, talking
Into the forest, walking, talking
All at once Anansi stopped
âWhatâs this?â he cried
Snake replied: âSss! Sss! Sss!
Isnât this a strange, moss-covered rock!â
Crash! Bang! Poor old Snake!
Crash! Bang! Down he flopped!
He slept all day and he slept all night
Under the spell of the moss-covered rock!
2 Anansi and Lion went walking, talking
Into the forest, walking, talking
All at once Anansi stopped
âWhatâs this?â he cried
Lion replied: âGrr! Grr! Grr!
Isnât this a strange, moss-covered rock!â
Crash! Bang! Poor old Lion!
Crash! Bang! Down she flopped!
She slept all day and she slept all night
Under the spell of the moss-covered rock!
Anansi and Deer went walking, talking
Into the forest, walking, talking
All at once Anansi stopped
âWhatâs this?â he cried
Deer replied: âI donât know!â
âYes, you do!â
âNo, I donât!â
âYes, you do! Isnât this a strange, moss-covered rock!â
Crash! Bang! Poor Anansi!
Crash! Bang! Down he flopped!
He slept all day and he slept all night
Under the spell of the moss-covered rock!
