Sea Otter Rap Written and Composed by Lesley Beth From the 'Swishy Friends' Song Album In giant kelp forests – full of life From their canopy – to sea bed Rife with crabs, sea urchins, abalone Engaging sea otters – swim there freely. With lungs enlarged – adapted eye sight To see my prey – in the filtered light. With undulating body and strong webbed feet I dive with speed – finding food to eat. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. In giant kelp forests – full of life From their canopy – to sea bed Rife with crabs, sea urchins, abalone Engaging sea otters – swim there freely. With minutes under – the time I need To find shelled creatures on which to feed. I catch and carry – in dexterous paws I’m fitted with strong – retract-able claws. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. In giant kelp forests – full of life From their canopy – to sea bed Rife with crabs, sea urchins, abalone Engaging sea otters – swim there freely. I zoom to the surface without any help So I don’t drift – I’m wrapped in kelp. While resting and floating – on my back The tasty crustaceans I pummel and crack. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. In giant kelp forests – full of life From their canopy – to sea bed Rife with crabs, sea urchins, abalone Engaging sea otters – swim there freely. To stay in chilly seas – warm and alive For food very often - I must dive My juicy banquets I enjoy each day And this is how – I live and play. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. In giant kelp forests swim there freely. All Music ASCAP Lesley Beth 20052009 All rights reserved/center>
