Read together
Verse 1:
Cheetah, Wolf and Turtle too,
Zebra, Lion, and Polar Bear,
Each one unique, special and true,
Friends in the wild, without a care.
Chorus:
Creatures big and small,
Each one with its own special call,
From the savanna to the sea,
These animals are wild and free.
Verse 2:
Cheetah runs so fast, you see,
Wolf howls at the moon so bright,
Turtle slow and steady be,
Zebra with stripes so bold and bright.
Chorus:
Creatures big and small,
Each one with its own special call,
From the savanna to the sea,
These animals are wild and free.
Verse 3:
Lion, king of the jungle wild,
Polar Bear, in the arctic white,
Cat, our furry friend so mild,
Together, a stunning sight.
Chorus:
Creatures big and small,
Each one with its own special call,
From the savanna to the sea,
These animals are wild and free.
Outro:
So next time you're in the great outdoors,
Look around, and what do you see?
Wild creatures big and small,
Living their lives so wild and free!
