Jungle Book at our house

The kids love the music from Jungle Book and march around the house with Colonel Hathi and his troops with great vim and vigor. When Mommy saw this elephant costume for Smudge to wear on Halloween, she knew it would be a hit.
But, look what she found in the store the day after Halloween for just $2! Yes, an elephant costume for Jboy too.
So now we have the pleasure of watching two little elephants march around and around and around with Colonel Hathi's troops. Amma and Buppa have even been known to join in the march from time to time too.
Come on now, get up, put on your marching shoes and sing along with me...

Hup two three four
Hup two three four
Keep it up two three four
Company sound off!

Ho, the aim of our patrol
Is a question rather droll
For to march and drill
Over field and hill
Is a military goal!
Is a military goal!

Hup two three four
Dress it up two three four
Hup two three four
Dress it up two three four

By the ranks or single file
Over every jungle mile
Oh we stamp and crush
Through the underbrush
In a military style!
In a military style!

Hup two three four
Keep it up two three four

They didn't do a lot of marching in this video as they were still getting used to their costumes. Jboy thought his trunk was pretty neat, and Smudge was surprised to discover she had a tail on her costume, but after a while they set off on their march. Smudge was stopped in her tracks when her hood came undone but at least you get the idea of the daily elephant march at our house. Now, ready...march!

Bernie - They are funny bunnies aren't they? Something happened to the sound on the video while I was trying to post it, and I knew when the music started without hearing a note, as both kids started to wriggle and bounce at the same moment.
