Printable Hokey Pokey Rhyme
Ocean Hokey Pokey
You put your crab claws in,
You take your crab claws out,
You put your crab claws in and you snap them all about
You do the ocean motion and you turn yourself about
That's what it's all about.

Swish your sting ray tail in and you sting it all about.
Shark teeth -chomp them all about
Star fish up-dow-flop it all about
Octopus arms in out-hug them all about
