When I staffed a summer camp here...one of my favorite action songs(well, it
was my favorite before when I was a camper there...*sigh*) was "Jaws".
Lessee if I can remember all of it...
It doesn't really have a tune...it is a follow-me chant that is encouraged
to be shouted until hoarse...here goes:

There was Jaws!! du du du du(synchopate the "du"'s)-the action for all of
I said there's Jaws!! du du du du - "Jaws" lines is a motion with
(repeat until the crows gets into it) - your arms, opening and closing
- them as if they were a sharks
- jaws, fingers out stretched to
- simulate teeth
There was grampa Jaws du du du du - Jaws action as above, but use fist
- instead of stretched fingers(no teeth)
- say line with lips pulled over teeth
There was mama Jaws du du du du - Jaws action with fingers straight out
There was baby Jaws du du du du - sqeuaky voice, Jaws action with only
- your hand(small Jaws)
and THERE WAS JAWS du du du du - Jaws action

There was a lady du du du du - no action
A pretty lady du du du du - one hand on hip one on hair and wiggle
But There was Jaws!! du du du du - Jaws action as above
She went a swimmin du du du du - air swim with arms
There was JAWS du du du du - you know
There WAS JAWS du du du du - you guessed it

There was a man du du du du - no action
A REAL man du du du du - flex arms, multiple poses
But there was JAWS du du du du - "Jaws" thingy
He said "I'll save ya" du du du du - point heroically
But there was Jaws du du du du - guess what
THERE WAS JAWS du du du du - start getting more animated with the
- "Jaws" thing
THERE WAS JAWS DU DU DU DU - keep going
(repeat and build to climax)

You know what's next du du du du - no action
Jaws Two!!!!!!
