The Song of the Toucan


OK , hello there everybody - its very good to see you up here in this tree. I understand that you're going to see the great harpy eagle. That's tremendous - but your rain forest experience would not be complete if you didn't learn my specialty. That's right ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to teach you how to do 'the toucan'. You know we toucans we pass our fruit to each other, then we toss it up in the air with our beaks and then we gulp it down our throats. It's so much fun - and you can do it, too. When I sing 'Toss-toss,' you move your hands as if you were tossing fruit. Then, when I sing 'Gulp-gulp,' you move your hands as if you were gulping fruit; and when I sing 'Yeah-yeah-yeah,' you move your hands as if you were passing fruit. Of course, you have to sing along, too. Let's try:

One-two-three-four

Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh how much fun to share
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
To show that I really care
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Care for my brother
Care for my sister
Oh how much fun to share - Yeah!

Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Oh how much fun to share
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
To show that I really care
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Care for my friend
Care for my neighbor
Oh how much fun to share - Yeah!

Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Toss-toss Gulp-gulp
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
