Lyrics for There Was a Crocodile

There was a crocodile, an orangutan, a flying eagle and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, an orangutan, a flying eagle and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, a flying eagle and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, and a caw caw and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, and a caw caw, and a glub glub.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, and a caw caw, and a glub glub.
A boing, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, and a caw caw, and a glub glub.
A boing, a chomp, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a chomp chomp, and a grunt grunt, and a caw caw, and a glub glub.
A boing, a chomp, a toooot. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na

There was a crocodile, an orangutan, a flying eagle and a slippery fish.
A bunny, a beaver, a crazy elephant. Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na, na na na na na na
