This is a song I learned from SCICON.
Can’t seem to find the song anywhere…will have to wait til tomorrow for me to get a video of my kids singing it or something. It’s too late and dark now to do it.
CHORUS:
SAAAAL…LEEEE…MAAAN…DEEER… OW!
SALLY SALLY SALLY MANDER – CALIFORNIA NEWT
SALLY SALLY SALLY MANDER – CALIFORNIA NEWT
SALLY SALLY SALLY MANDER – CALIFORNIA NEWT
SALLY SALLY SALLY MANDER – CALIFORNIA NEWT
VERSES:
1. She’s got four legs – – got four legs
And a little orange suit – – lil orange suit
All the boy salamanders – – boy salamanders
Think she’s real cute – – she’s real cute
She was born in the creek – – born in the creek
Used to breath with gills – – breathe with gills
But now she’s a big girl – – now she’s a big girl
And she lives in the hills – – lives in the hills.
Chorus
- She doesn’t move too fast – – move too fast
Yes, she moves real slow – – moves real slow
As she walks through the forest – – walks through the forest
All the animals know – – animals know
They know they better not eat her – – better not eat her
She’s got that poisonous skin – – poisonous skin
If you’re thinking she might taste good – – might taste good
Well you better think again – – better think again.

I was walking down the road – – walkin’ down the road
I saw a great big bullfrog – – great big bullfrog

I like best of all – – best of all
I love my Sally Mander – – love Sally Mander
I do my salamander call – – salamander call

I love this!I was just trying to find the song to show my boyfriend. I, too, went to SCICON! Thanks for sharing
This is great! I wanted to find the song to share with my nephews. Went to SCICON in 1983 and it still gets in my head sometimes. lol
I’m glad I can help pass on Sally to the next generations! 🙂
I went to Science Camp at Heartland Campground in California. (I went back to the same campground 4 years later for a “disco weekend” with Young Life).
I remember this song! I also remember one about animal droppings, with lyrics like “Scat makes the world go round”, and “So next time you step in a lump of scat…”
Ah yes, the Scat Song! I know it well!
