🎵 Song Lyrics

Waddle like a penguin waddle waddle
Waddle like a penguin waddle waddle
Waddle all around with a happy grin
Yeah waddle like a penguin

Now hop like a bunny
Hop like a bunny
Hop up and down even if it looks funny
Hop like a bunny

Now spin like a monkey
Spin like a monkey
Spin all around til' you're feeling funky
Spin like a monkey

Waddle hop spin
Waddle hop spin
Waddle hop spin
Yeah waddle hop spin
And dance

Waddle like a penguin waddle waddle
Waddle like a penguin waddle waddle
Waddle all around with a happy grin
Yeah waddle like a penguin

Now hop like a bunny
Hop like a bunny
Hop up and down even if it looks funny
Hop like a bunny

Now spin like a monkey
Spin like a monkey
Spin all around til' you're feeling funky
Spin like a monkey

Waddle hop spin
Waddle hop spin
Waddle hop spin
Yeah waddle hop spin
And dance

About This Song

Waddle Like a Penguin is an upbeat dance song about Bebo the penguin and his friends Okee, Makaio, Nora and Mia showing off three fun animal moves. Out on the snowy ice, with icebergs and frosty trees all around, Mia and Nora smile with excitement as the dance party gets started.

First, the little penguins waddle like penguins. They step from side to side and waddle all around the snow with happy grins on their faces. Next, they hop like bunnies, jumping up and down in a line, even if it looks a little funny. Then they spin like monkeys, turning around and around until they feel funky.

Soon the friends find themselves on a sunny beach, with tall palm trees swaying and blue water splashing on the sand. They dance in the warm sunshine and spin with their eyes closed, laughing as they twirl near the waves.

Waddle, hop and spin, over and over again. The little penguins mix all three moves together, waddling, hopping and spinning faster and faster across the sand.
