Presented Without Context: The Shark Song

There was a boy
(hold up one finger and bounce it along to the tune)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

And a girl
(hold up the other finger and bounce it along too)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

And a lake
(make wavy lake motions with your arms)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

And so they swam
(pretend you're swimming!)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

And they swam
(keep swimming!)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

But. There. Were. SHARKS!
(using your entire arms, clap your hands in front of you like your arms are the shark's jaws)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Papa Sharks!
(keep clapping, but do the da na nas in a papa shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Mama Sharks!
(bring your elbows together and clap using only the lower part of your arms while using a mama shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Baby Sharks!
(put your wrists together and clap only your hands, singing in a high baby shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Grampa Sharks!
(fold your fingers under because grampa sharks have no teeth.  Use a deep, rough grampa voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Inbred Sharks!
(flop your hands around like a fish on land.  Say whatever seems most inbred for the da na nas)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

So, they swam faster . . .
(swimming arms again, but speed everything up!)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

They swam faster!
(go faster, there are sharks!)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

But there were SHARKS!
(get your shark arms out again and start clapping)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Papa Sharks!
(keep clapping, but do the da na nas in a papa shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Mama Sharks!
(bring your elbows together and clap using only the lower part of your arms while using a mama shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Baby Sharks!
(put your wrists together and clap only your hands, singing in a high baby shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Grampa Sharks!
(fold your fingers under because grampa sharks have no teeth. Use a deep, rough grampa voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Inbred Sharks!
(flop your hands around like a fish on land. Say whatever seems most inbred for the da na nas)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

(this next part is sung slowly, while swaying your body back & forth)
Now all was red . . .
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na
All was dead
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Except the sharks!
(start your shark clapping!)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Papa Sharks!
(keep clapping, but do the da na nas in a papa shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Mama Sharks!
(bring your elbows together and clap using only the lower part of your arms while using a mama shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Baby Sharks!
(put your wrists together and clap only your hands, singing in a high baby shark voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Grampa Sharks!
(fold your fingers under because grampa sharks have no teeth. Use a deep, rough grampa voice)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na

Inbred Sharks!
(flop your hands around like a fish on land. Say whatever seems most inbred for the da na nas)
Da na nuh na, Da na na na na
