The Greedy Python | Rap Along

The Greedy Python by Eric Carle
Rap along with me as I read this book to a rhythmic tune.
Half hidden in the jungle green
The biggest snake there's ever been
Wound back and forth and in-between
The giant snake was very strong
And very, very, very long
He had a monstrous apetite
His stomach stretched from left to right
He quickly gobbled in one bite
Whatever creatures came in sight
A mouse that scampered to and fro
A frog that jumped up from below
A bat that hung from his left toe
A fish that swam a bit to slow
A bird that flew a bit too low
A porcupine still half asleep
A money who was in mid-leap
A leopard sitting in a tree
A buffalo who came to see
An elephant complete with trunk
Was swallowed in a single chunk
I'm far to big to eat he cried
Oh no you're not the snake replied
At last the pythons meal was done
He lay resting in the sun
The animals inside his skin
Where making quite a dreadful din
And when they began to kick
The snake began to feel quite sick
He coughed the whole lot up again
Each one of them and there were ten
He soon felt better and what's more
Was hungrier than before
He hadn't learned a single thing
His greed was quite astonishing
He saw his own tail
Long and curved and thought that lunch was being served
He closed his jaw on his own rear
Then swallowed hard and disappeared.
