A poignant and simple song for young children (6 and under) to learn a little about endangered animals, specifically pandas, bonobos and polar bears.
Goodbye Mr. Panda
You look so big and strong
We’ll only know how much we miss you
When the pandas are all gone
Goodbye Mrs. Polar Bear
You really are the best
We’ll only know how much we miss you
When there’s no more of you left
Goodbye young Bonobo
My smiley furry friend
We’ll only know how much we miss you
When we don’t see you again
The song is perfect for group singing. It has four simple chords so is perfect for beginner pianists, ukulele players or guitarists. Children can make up their own actions for the three verses (pandas, monkeys and a polar bear). They can wave goodbye. Could involve mask and costume making for a school performance.
