Lyrics
Finny the shark, he swims in the sea
He loves to play and have fun, you see
He's got a big smile and a friendly wave
He's here to teach you how to say your name
Finny: What's your name? (What's your name?)
Child: My name is (child's name). (My name is (child's name).)
Finny: Nice to meet you, (child's name). (Nice to meet you, (child's name).)
I'm Finny the shark, and I'm here to play.
Finny swims along, he meets a seahorse
The seahorse is shy, but Finny's not worse
He asks the seahorse, "What's your name?"
The seahorse smiles and says, "My name is Seamus.
Finny: What's your name? (What's your name?)
Seamus: My name is Seamus. (My name is Seamus.)
Finny: Nice to meet you, Seamus. (Nice to meet you, Seamus.)
I'm Finny the shark, and I'm here to play.
Finny keeps swimming, he meets a crab
The crab is grumpy, but Finny's not drab
He asks the crab, "What's your name?"
The crab grumbles, "My name is Clarence.
Finny: What's your name? (What's your name?)
Clarence: My name is Clarence. (My name is Clarence.)
Finny: Nice to meet you, Clarence. (Nice to meet you, Clarence.)
I'm Finny the shark, and I'm here to play.
Finny swims on, he's having a blast
He's made new friends, and the fun won't last
He's learned that names are important to know
So next time you meet someone, be sure to say hello!
