Join Peggy the pygmy hippo and her friends and dance along to this traditional music from West Africa.
Hello. We鈥檙e going on a musical adventure around the world. Where will we stop today? Brilliant. We鈥檙e on our way to West Africa.
And look, it鈥檚 Peggy, the pygmy hippo making waves in the water. Shall we join in?
Make sure you鈥檝e got plenty of space to stretch out your arms. Try to follow the moves or make up your own dance and groove to the music.
The sun comes up in the east and it sets over the sea.
We dance in time to the music.
Oh so happy and free.
The crocodile in the water, the monkey up in the tree.
We鈥檙e all inviting you to be a pygmy hippo like me.
Step, splash in the water.
Step, splash in the water.
Push your hands to the sky one time.
Now push to the other side.
Step, splash in the water.
Step, splash in the water.
Push your hands to the sky one time.
Now push to the other side.
The sun comes up in the east and it sets over the sea.
We dance in time to the music.
Oh so happy and free.
The cute little bush baby and the chimpanzee.
We鈥檙e all inviting you to be a pygmy hippo like me.
Step, splash in the water.
Step, splash in the water.
Push your hands to the sky one time.
Now push to the other side.
Step, splash in the water.
Step, splash in the water.
Now everybody knows how to be a pygmy hippo like me.
