LION-HUNT SONG

Everyone gathers in a circle and faces right, so that they look at the back of the hasher in
front of them. Then everyone pulls his or her pants up tight to form a wedgie. If hats are
available they should be worn backwards. Everyone places his or her tongue between the
lower lip and teeth. Then everyone stamps on the ground in a 1-2-3-4 cadence and begins
marching around in the circle. The songmeister shouts out each line, which is
immediately shouted back by everyone else in the circle.

CHORUS:

We're going on a lion-hunt!
(march around stamping)
We're not afraid!
(continue stamping)
We've got guns!
(pantomime holding rifles)
And bullets two!
(hold up two fingers)

Came upon a mountain!
(peak hands to form mountain)
Couldn't go 'round it!
(move one hand around the "mountain")
Couldn't go across it!
(move one hand over the "mountain")
Had to go through it!
(digging motions with both hands)

OTHER VERSES (done in same manner as "mountain" verse):

Came upon an ocean!
Couldn't go 'round it!
Couldn't go across it!
Had to swim through it!

Came upon a jungle!
Couldn't go 'round it!
Couldn't go across it!
Had to cut through it!

Came upon a desert!
Couldn't go 'round it!
Couldn't go across it!
Had to fly over it!

LAST VERSE:
Came upon a lion!
