This version has been copied from an online forum at the website
for the American Camp Association. that's acacamps dot org.

This entry is dated January 2004, and the poster to the forum
was a camper from the Northeast coastal USA.

The post follows a couple of "baby shark" entries on one thread, saying:
"LOL ... my camp's 'baby shark' is really violent compared to yours.
The girls [at camp] love this song.
It was introduced summer of 2000
and it has been sung non-stop since!" endquote

You have been warned, Mudcatters.
This too will be a SUMMARY without spelling out all the repetitions.

The East Coast USA Girls' Camp Version

There was a boy (four repetitions)

and a girl

they went for a walk

they took off their clothes

they went for a swim

and all was quiet

and all was still

except for the SHARKS!

the daddy sharks

the mommy sharks

the baby sharks

the granny sharks

and all was quiet

and all was still

They took off an arm

the other arm

and then a leg

the other leg

and then the head:

the water was RED!

and all was quiet

and all was still

EXCEPT FOR THE SHARKS!


No, the post from which I copied this version
does NOT supply the non-verbal body language,
which would be interesting, I presume, on some verses ...
