Down In The Jungle : Bath Time Song

Down In The Jungle is an old playgroup and preschool favourite which is usually about animals washing their clothes in the jungle. But here I’ve tweaked it slightly to make it into a fun bath time song.

Down in the jungle where nobody goes,

There’s a big fat elephant washing his toes,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his toes!

*

(chorus)

Boom,  boom, boogie-woogie boogie-woogie,

Boom,  boom, boogie-woogie boogie-woogie,,

Rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his toes!

*

Down in the jungle where there’s nobody there,

There’s a great big lion washing his hair,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his hair!

*

(repeat chorus)

Down in the jungle, if you look in the trees,

There’s a cheeky monkey washing his knees,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his knees!

*

(repeat chorus)

Down in the jungle if you care to check,

There’s a very tall giraffe washing his neck,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he washes his neck!

*

Down at the river, if you look underneath,

There’s a great big crocodile brushing his teeth,

With a rub-a-dub here, and a rub-a-dub there,

That’s the way he brushes his teeth!

Bath time is an important part of any child’s daily routine, and it should be fun and relaxing as they wind down before bed.  Little rituals of favourite games and bath time songs can make it a useful time to learn things too. Down In the Jungle is a great way to explore the different animals of the jungle and also naming parts of the body and personal hygiene. But this one has such a catchy tune, that everyone ends up singing it for days!

We had lots of fun making up these new verses! Why not give it a go and share yours in the comments below?

My kids are all grown up these days, but we have such fond memories of bath time! And I just saw the best idea for helping to make babies bath time easier! – This colourful Blooming Baby Bath –      It’s a soft, sponge flower that lines the baby bath, cushioning the baby and preventing slipping – so simple, but such a good idea! I just wish they were around when my kids were small.
