There's a cute, easy kids' song about a lady sailing down the Nile on an alligator and being eaten by the 'gator. I was able to find the words by Googling "she sailed away," but no tune was included. I won't be back at school with my music collections until Jan. 3, but I can post sources for the music then if you are interested.
She is an award winning artist with great music for elementary ed. On her album called "Crackers", she has a song called "Mysteries of the Nile". It cute, but not too babish for the upper grades.
