Tiger Hunt Lyrics


Sesame Street Tiger Hunt

Ernie: Hey everybody! I'm going on a tiger hunt! I've got my trusty rusty telescope right here

(squeaking noises in background)

You wanna come along? Well, let's go then

(sound of door opening)

A tiger hunt can be fun, you just do what I do

Now first we're gonna walk down this road. Of course, you're not really on a road but you can pretend

Just stand up and walk around the room or walk in place without really going anywhere

Come on now, everybody walk. Are you walking with me? Good!

Okay, now we've got to climb this hill

Oh ... hee ... this is hard. Are you climbing with me? Good

There now here we are at the top of the hill. And now we can run down!

Are you running with me? Okay!

Watch out there's a fence at the bottom of the hill, we'll have to jump it ...

Alley-oop! We made it!

Oh oh, we're here. we're walking through the tiger jungle

Oh boy. Oh there are a lot of mosquitoes here! Shoo mosquitoes! Shoo those mosquitoes away!

Oh there's some on my arm. Slap those mosquitoes if they land on you. There, that's better

Hey look, we've come to a big thicket of thorns

We're gonna have to crawl on our tummies to get through these thorns

You crawling with me? Good!

Oops, I'm caught on a thorn (ripping sound) ooh ... there

Now we can get up because we're at the other side of the thicket and ... what is this?

We've come to the great jungle river! We're gonna have to swim for it

Ready to dive into the water? Ready, get set, jump!

(splashing sounds)

Here we go, swimming across the river! Oh my trusty rusty telescope is going to get even rustier

There, there, we made it. Okay, walk up on to the river bank

Here, oh look over there. It's a bunch of elephants. We'd better tiptoe past them

Are you tiptoeing with me? Good!

There, okay now we're past the elephants. We should be near the tiger's house

Let's climb that tree so we can look around

You climbing with me? Okay. Here we go

All right, now here we are high in the tree. Let's look through my trusty rusty telescope and try to find that tiger

Look to the right

Look to the left

Look down ... hmmm ... I don't see a tiger

Mr. Tiger: Good afternoon!

Ernie: Oops. There's a big furry striped animal in this tree with us

Mr. Tiger: Roar!

Ernie: It's a tiger! RUN!

Climb down the tree as fast as you can. He's following us - run!

Tiptoe past the elephants

Run down the river bank

Swim the jungle river

Climb up and cross through the thicket of thorns

Then slap the mosquitoes away

And run through the jungle

Now jump over the fence

Now run up the hill

Now run down the hill

Now open the door and ...

(sound of door closing)

Ooh ... ahh ... we made it ... we're home ...

Bert: Hey, hi, Ernie. Where you been?

Ernie: Oh Bert, don't ask!

(knocking on door)

Bert: Oh, I'll get it, Ernie

(sound of door opening)

Mr. Tiger: Roar!

Bert: Hi, Mr. Tiger. What do you want?

Mr. Tiger: Ernie forgot his trusty rusty telescope in my jungle!

(door closes)

Ernie: Oh, oh Bert!
