Lyrics[]

English[]

Chorus
Move like an Emu, move
Move like an Emu, move

Put your hand up in the air
Just like an Emu
Make a beak to peck everywhere
Peck everywhere, that's what we do
When we move like an Emu, move
Move like an Emu, move

Stretch out your long legs
Scratch with your feet
Fluff out your feathers
Beak goes up, beak goes down,
Beak goes pecking all around
Shake your wings and run around ah, ah, ah

Chorus

I say move, I say move, I say move, I say move

Español (Muevete Como Un Emu)[]

Chorus
Se...
Seas como el "emu"
Se...
Seas como el "emu"

Pon tu brazo en el aire como el "emu"
Con tus dedos, su pico serás, y picotazos darás
Cuando tú...
Seas como el "emu"
Se...
Seas como el "emu"

Estira las piernas, como el "emu"
Sacude tus plumas
Pico arriba, pico abajo
Con el pico, picarás,
Mueve tus alas, corre así, ¡ja, ja, ja!

Chorus

Muévete, muévete
Muévete, muévete
