THREE LITTLE FISHES
Down in the meadow
In an iddy biddy pool
Swam three little fishes
And a momma fishy too!
Swim, said the Momma,
Swim as fast as you can!
And they swam and they swam
Right over that dam
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
And they swam and they swam right over the dam!
Stop, said the Momma fishy
Or you will get lost
But the three little fishes
Didn't want to be bossed
So the three little fishes
Went out on a spree
And they swam and they swam
Right out to the sea
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
And they swam and they swam right over the dam!
Whee! yelled the fishes
Oh here's alot of fun
To swim in the sea
Till the day is done
So they swam and they swam
And it was all a lark
Till all of a sudden
They met a shark
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
And they swam and they swam right over the dam!
Help cried the fishes
Oh look at the whale!
Quick as they could
They turned on their tails
Back to the pool
In the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam
Back over the dam
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
Boop Boop Diddim Daddum Waddum Choo!
And they swam and they swam right over the dam!
Boy that shark almost ate us for seafood, mama!
Now here are the words again with hand movements...
(Many thanks to the Yuba City Family Folks for providing these)
Down in the meadow (Palms together--out flat)
In an iddy biddy pool, (hands now cup together)
Swam three little fishes (show three fingers while swinging
hand back in forth a little bit)
And a momma fishy too! (now swing out the thumb)
Swim, said the Momma,
Swim as fast as you can! (now pointing and shaking
your hand as if you're the mama)
And they swam and they swam (wiggling fingers in the air,
while swinging back and forth)
Right over that dam (while wiggling fingers in the air,
sweep them to up and then over -- make a motion of them going
from one side to the other, followed by a downward sweep -- you
are showing the 3 little fishes swimming over that dam)
Boop Boop (slap your knees twice with the words)
Diddim Daddum (snap fingers in the air twice with the words,
or with real young children clap clap)
Waddum (roll hands over each other in front of you
without touching each hand)
Choo! (jerk both hands up, with thumbs leading
and like they're going over your shoulders,
with fingers closed together)
