Full Lyrics
Walking in the jungle, walking in the jungle
We're not afraid, we're not afraid
One step, two steps, three steps forward
One step, two steps, three steps back
Walking, walking, walking in the jungle
Walking, walking, walking in the jungle
Look! A lion! Roar!
We are not afraid!
Run, run, run away
Run, run, run away
Look! A monkey! Ooh ooh ah ah!
We are not afraid!
Jump, jump, jump around
Jump, jump, jump around
Look! An elephant! Trumpet!
We are not afraid!
Stomp, stomp, stomp your feet
Stomp, stomp, stomp your feet
Look! A snake! Ssss!
We are not afraid!
Slither, slither, slide along
Slither, slither, slide along
Walking in the jungle, walking in the jungle
We're not afraid, we're not afraid!
About This Song
Walking in the Jungle is a high-energy action song that takes kids on an imaginary jungle adventure, introducing animals with their sounds and movements (lion roar, monkey jump, elephant stomp, snake slither). It's perfect for gross motor skills, imagination, and following directions.
Children love acting out each animal—walking cautiously, then reacting with big actions when spotting one, and running/jumping/stomping/slithering away. It's often played with increasing speed or added animals (tiger, parrot, etc.) for extra fun. Great for circle time, PE, or rainy-day indoor play.
Popularized by Super Simple Songs (and similar channels), this modern preschool favorite builds on classic movement songs with a narrative twist—super engaging for toddlers and kindergartners.
