Sammy Sloth Song
Sammy sloth
Doesn’t move fast, doesn’t move fast, doesn’t move fast,
Sammy the sloth doesn’t move fast
Because he moves quite slow
Sammy sloth
Doesn’t have feathers, doesn’t have feathers, doesn’t have feathers,
Sammy the sloth doesn’t have feathers
Because he has thick fur
Sammy sloth
Doesn’t live here, doesn’t live here, doesn’t live here,
Sammy sloth doesn’t live here
He lives in the rainforest
Sammy sloth
Doesn’t eat cheese, doesn’t eat cheese, doesn’t eat cheese
Sammy sloth doesn’t eat cheese
Because he eats only leaves.

Action Rhyme- Five Silly Sloths
Five silly sloths laying on the floor
One fell asleep and then there were four
Four silly sloths climbing up a tree
One fell down and then there were three
Three silly sloths wondering what to do
One got lost and then there were two
Two silly sloths having tons of fun
One got up and then there was one
One silly sloth was sad the day was done
He went to bed and now there are none.

Action Song- Sloth Dance
Of all the animals at the zoo,
I am the one that sleeps right through
I wait until the crowds are gone,
That’s when I can sing my song
It starts with a stretch and a really big yawn ..and then
Twist, twist, twist,
Twist, twist my hips
Twist, twist, twist,
Twist, twist my hips
Twist, twist, twist,
Twist, twist my hips, TWIST
Of all the animals at the zoo,
I am the one that sleeps right through
I wait until the crowds are gone,
That’s when I can sing my song
It starts with a stretch and a really big yawn ..and then
Jump, jump, jump
Jump up and down
Jump, jump, jump
Jump up and down
Jump, jump, jump
Jump up and down
Jump, jump , jump, jump
Was that a rumble in the bushes? (SNORING SOUNDS)
No? Phew, I almost lost my cool there.
Twist, twist, twist. Twist, twist my hips
Jump, Jump, jump, jump up and down
And that friends, is my song!
