Music & Movement
Tap and clap along to the beat. When the Octopus Boys escape, slowly wave your arms like tentacles while loudly singing, "Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can't catch me!"

lyrics

THE OCTOPUS BOYS

Maxwell and Sam pushed off from the land, they wanted to sail the ocean.
They cut through the waves for several days, to find a magical potion.

The potion they found had washed up on the ground of a beautiful tropical island.
But a monster appeared, and it quickly drew near—it seemed to know just where to find them.

“My name is Ooga Booga! And I want your magical drink.
And give me your boat—this island’s remote—if I get wet without it, I’ll sink!”

“Let’s drink the potion and jump in the ocean and watch our tentacles bloom.
We’ll scare Ooga Boog all the way to Tortuga—let’s use loud voices of doom!”

“Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!
Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!”

It worked! It worked. The monster no longer lurked.
The octopus boys made a whole lot of noise, Ooga Booga sailed off in the surf.

“Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!
Hey there, Ooga Booga, you can’t catch me!”
