Lyrics
(Australian folk song)
Here is the sea, the wavy sea,
Here is a boat and here is me.
Here are the fishes way down below,
Wiggle their tails and away they go.

I did this at a PD with a partner song “Sea Shell”. We held a square of blue lycra standing in a circle and swayed it side to side. When we came to “boat”, the leader put her finder under the lycra, so it looked like a little sail boat. The fish she did with her fingers tickling the underside of the fabric. So enchanting. Then at the end we lifted the lycra up and certain people went underneath and swapped with other people in the circle.
This sounds so beautiful. Time to get some blue lycra! Thanks. Ana.
