Goin’ to the coral reef
(Goin’ to the coral reef)
Watch where you kick your feet!
(Watch where you kick your feet!)
Don’t want to hurt the place!
(Don’t want to hurt the place!)
Just want to see what’s great!
(Just want to see what’s great!)
First, we need our snorkeling gear
Put on your mask and flippers
Use your snorkel for your air
Let’s dive into the water…“Splish, splash”
Sunshine and colors everywhere
Goin’ to the coral reef
(Goin’ to the coral reef)
Watch where you kick your feet!
(Watch where you kick your feet!)
Don’t want to hurt the place!
(Don’t want to hurt the place!)
Just want to see what’s great!
(Just want to see what’s great!)
Look over there!
Will we see a parrot?... “No!”
How about a parrotfish?... “Yes!”
Listen to that crunching sound
It’s munching on the coral reef eating bits of algae
Let’s swim on
What’s that hovering in the coral reef?
Is that a trumpet?... “No!”
How about a trumpetfish?... “Yes!”
It’s hiding in the coral reef to sneak up on its prey
Look, it slurped up a small fish for lunch!
Goin’ to the coral reef
(Goin’ to the coral reef)
Sun’s going down now
(Sun’s going down now)
Nighttime is falling
(Nighttime is falling)
The reef scene is changing
(The reef scene is changing)
Look over there!
Is that an angel?... “No!”
How about an angelfish?... “Yes!”
See how its colors get darker
Then it slips into a coral cave to sleep the night away
Will we see an army of soldiers living on the coral reef?... “No!”
How about soldierfish?… “Yes!”
Look, there’s a whole school of soldierfish coming out for
Nighttime hunting on the coral reef
But, night’s not safe for everyone
Is that a dragon?... “No!”
How about a dragon eel?... “Yes!”
He’s prowling the reef flushing small fish from
Their hiding places in the cracks
Look out little reef fish!
Whew! That was close!
Goin’ to the coral reef
(Goin’ to the coral reef)
Watch where you kick your feet!
(Watch where you kick your feet!)
Don’t want to hurt the place!
(Don’t want to hurt the place!)
Just want to see what’s great!
(Just want to see what’s great!)
All right everyone
It’s time to end our visit to the coral reef
Let’s kick up to the surface
Head back to the shore
Take off your mask and flippers
And think about going back once more!
Back to the coral reef
(Back to the coral reef)
Watch where you kick your feet!
(Watch where you kick your feet!)
Don’t want to hurt the place!
(Don’t want to hurt the place!)
Just want to see what’s great!
(Just want to see what’s great!)
It was so much fun goin’ to the coral reef!
