"Hippo" (Hippopotamus)

In the beginning, God made the sea
{spread your hands out to make a wavy sea in front of you}
And the forest lined with trees
{bring your arms up and out at the shoulders, hands pointed down, to make a tree}
Stacked the mountains up so high
{Bring your arms above your head and make a mountain pointed over you head}
Above it all he made the sky
{Leave one hand pointed up and use the other to make a motion over the mountain for the sky}

His fingerprints are everywhere
Just to show how much he cares
Along the way he had some fun
Made a hippo that weighed a ton. 
{Drop voice to a low deep voice} {Make your hands out like a fat hippo and hunch down}

Hip-hip-hip-popotamus
{Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice still}
Hip-hip-hooray God made all of us
{Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}
Hip-hip-hip-popotamus
{Jump up and down as a "Hippo", with a low voice}
Hip-hip-hooray God made all of us
{Raise your hands in praise and jump for joy, use a normal voice for this line}

*REPEAT MANY TIMES GETTING FASTER TILL YOU CAN'T ANYMORE!!
