There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea | Sing-a-Long

There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea | Sing-a-Long

The Lyrical Literacy podcast presents a playful underwater musical adventure with our sea-themed episode featuring the classic children's cumulative song "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea" with a fun SpongeBob-inspired twist.

Origin

This episode features a modern adaptation of the traditional folk song "There's a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea," which dates back to at least the early 20th century. The song is a classic cumulative or "chain" song where each verse builds upon the previous one by adding a new element, creating a fun memory challenge for children while teaching sequence and vocabulary.

Summary

Join us for this delightful underwater journey as we dive down to explore what's at the bottom of the sea! This musical rendition builds layer by layer - starting with a hole in the sea floor, then adding a log, branch, bump, frog, tail, speck, and fleck - creating a fun, cumulative adventure that helps children develop memory skills and vocabulary. With playful references to beloved sea characters and interactive "sing with me" moments, this episode encourages active participation and engagement with the building pattern of the classic folk song.
