Sally Sally sea jelly
So happy you’re swimming in the sea
It’s so cool how you keep glowing in the dark

Golly, look, quick! hurry!
Sea jellies gently bobbing all around
They’re so pretty and bright
But never make a sound

Some jellies glow making light for themselves
Some jellies sting so don’t ever touch ouch!
Sea jellies bloom but not like a flower
That just means lots of jellies all together

Sally Sally sea jelly
So happy you’re swimming in the sea
It’s so cool how you love glowing in the dark
You keep glowing in the dark

Sea jellies aren’t fish, jellies don’t have brains
Jellies are fascinating so many different names
Moon jelly, box jelly, lion’s mane jelly
They were swimming in the ocean
When dinosaurs reigned

Sally Sally sea jelly
No touching, too stingy for my hands and feet
I think Sally needs space like me

Sally Sally sea jelly
So pretty you’re swimming in the sea
It’s so cool how you love glowing in the dark
Sally Sally sea jelly
So lucky you’re swimming in the sea
It’s so cool how you keep glowing in the dark
You keep glowing in the dark
