The Moose: a Songtale

A Storytelling song or a Songtale
I learned this song at Camp Togowoods in Wasilla, Alaska which is not very far from Anchorage.
This is an echo song.
First you, the leader sings, then the children repeat, echo, your words and movements.
Hmm... I will have to add the movements later**smile**.

The Moose

There was a great big moose. (echo)
He liked to drink a lot of juice. (echo)
There was a great big moose. (echo)
He liked to drink a lot of juice. (echo)

Chorus (each line is also echoed):
Say waaaaay-Oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh
Way-oh, way-oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh

The moose's name was Fred. (echo)
He liked to drink his juice in bed. (echo)
The moose's name was Fred. (echo)
He liked to drink his juice in bed. (echo)

Chorus

He drank his juice with care. (echo)
But he spilled some on his hair. (echo)
He drank his juice with care. (echo)
But he spilled some on his hair. (echo)

Chorus

Now he’s a sticky moose (echo)
Full of juice (echo)
On the looooooooooooooose (echo)

Chorus


This song can be found with different verses all over the net. It is song by scouts and at other children's camps.

This is an "okay" version of the song although there are missing verses and the tune and movements are a little different. But you'll get the idea.
