Wiggly Safari[]
Crocodile Hunter, big Steve Irwin
Crocodile Hunter, action man
Crocodile Hunter, Terri too
"Crikey it's a croc, I'll save it if I can!"
Khaki shorts (Khaki shorts)
Short-sleeved shirt (Short-sleeved shirt)
Jungle boots (Jungle boots)
Running in the grass
And wrestling in the dirt
Crocodile Hunter, big Steve Irwin
Crocodile Hunter, action man
Crocodile Hunter, Terri too
"Crikey it's a croc with razor sharp teeth!"
Jumping in the water (Jumping in the water)
Climbing up the tree (Climbing up the tree)
Rolling down the sand dunes (Rolling down the sand dunes)
A friend to the animals
A friend to you and me!
Crocodile Hunter, big Steve Irwin
Crocodile Hunter, action man
Crocodile Hunter, Terri too
"Crikey it's a croc, danger, danger, danger! Well, there's danger everywhere in my job, fun too. I rescue crocs, feed snakes, dance with dingoes, swim with sharks, jump with kangaroos, ride around in my ute and of course, I'm always wearing my uniform."
Crocodile Hunter, big Steve Irwin
Crocodile Hunter, action man
Crocodile Hunter, Terri too
"Crikey it's a croc, I'll save it if I can!"
"Check out the size of this bloke! Crocs rule!"
