Wild Cheese Moose Hunt
Audience echoes each line and sets up clap/lap-slapping rhythm.
Chorus:
Goin' on a wild cheese moose hunt.
I am not afraid!
I got my gun! (Or replace with “I’ll have some fun!”)
[March in Place]
Mud!
Deep mud!
Dark mud!
Can't go over the mud.
Can't go under the mud.
Can't go around the mud.
Gotta go through the mud! [Make sloshing sounds and move hands as if slogging.]
[Begin the rhythmic clapping to get everyone to settle down]
Goin' on a wild cheese moose hunt.
I am not afraid!
I got my gun!
[March in Place]
