Swimming around saying "catch catch me".
Out came the shark saying "snap snap snap".
Two little fish went swimming back.

Swimming around saying "catch catch me".
Out came the shark saying "snap snap snap".
One  little fish went swimming back.

One little fish swam out to sea.
Swimming around saying "catch catch me".

  and tall    (pointer finger pointing higher)
 Two little wires (right and left middle finger facing each other)
 came across  (right and left middle finger connecting each other)
 Two little birds ( thumb point up)
 hop on     (thumb touch to middle fingers)
 And they said "Tweeet-tweeet" (swing your hands)
 And they said "Tweeet-tweeet"
