Ostrich Hatches
Marla Lewis

  Listen to this song.
         Listen to the instrumental version of this song.

This song is based on the "Ostrich Hatches" story by Bernadette Falletta, part of Marla Lewis'
We Love to Read: Literacy Program.

This song is also available as an Individual Song Download (including the instrumental version).


Charles and Mitch were playing catch
When Bluebird called down from her branch: "STOP!
Right here on this grassy patch
A giant egg's about to hatch!"
Imagine everyone's surprise
An ostrich hatched before their eyes!
She yawned and stretched and scratched her head,
And the first words Baby Ostrich said (were:)

Teach me how to cha-cha-cha!
I want to learn how to cha-cha-cha!
Teach me now to cha-cha-cha!
So I can be your partner!

Charles said. "Cha-Cha! What is THAT?'
"It's a Latin Dance," the bluebird laughed.
"One foot forward, one foot back,
Then, cha-cha-cha! You're right on track (let me)

Teach you how to cha-cha-cha
Watch! One-two, cha-cha-cha!
Pay attention, cha-cha-cha!
Now you can be my partner!

Ostrich loved the dance so much
She had such grace, a magic touch!
But when the boys took up the beat
She cried, "Ouch! You're dancing on my feet!" (let me)

Teach you how to cha-cha-cha!
All together, now, cha-cha-cha!
I'll teach you how to cha-cha-cha
So you can be my partner
