Clap your hands. Move your feet. Hey!
Swing your arms…to the beat. Hey!

Verse 1:
Look at me. I’m Bella the Gorilla. My family lives in Africa.
I think that we’re great, ‘cause we’re the largest of the primates.
A family of animals that includes monkeys and apes and humans like you.
I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl. I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl.

Clap your hands. Move your feet.
Swing your arms...to the beat. Hey!
Pat your chest...just like me. Hey!
We both have thumbs. We both can drum. Hey! Let’s have some fun!
Verse 2:
Look at me. I’m Bella the gorilla. I like to play and hang out with my mother.
Have you seen my dad? He’s strong and has a silverback.
He keeps us together and protects the troop
While we eat, play, sleep and laugh just like you.
I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl. I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl.

Grab some seeds. I like to eat. Hey! Look at me!
Verse 3:
Look at me, I’m Bella the gorilla.
I’m a young primate with feelings to to communicate.
Sometimes I’m mad and I cry when I’m sad
Pat my chest when I’m excited, make sounds.
And when I want your attention, I will slap the ground.
I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl. I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl.
BRIDGE:
When I look into your eyes I can clearly see that you have emotions just like me.
Do you cry when you’re sad? Do you get happy or mad?
Oh, look at you. Look at me. We have so many similarities.

Make a sound…when you slap the ground. Hey!
High-five slow. Nod hello. Hey!
Hello to you. Hello to me. Hey! Look at me!
I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl. I’m a congo girl. She’s a Congo girl.(x2)
LOOK AT ME!
