Ants go Marching!


The ants go marching one by one.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching one by one.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching one by one;

The little one stops to suck his thumb,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching two by two.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching two by two.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching two by two;

The little one stops to tie his shoe,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching three by three.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching three by three.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching three by three;

The little one stops to ride a bee,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching four by four.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching four by four.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching four by four;

The little one stops to ask for more,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching five by five.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching five by five.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching five by five;

The little one stops to jump and dive,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching six by six.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching six by six.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The little one stops to pick up sticks,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching seven by seven.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching seven by seven.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The little one stops to write with a pen,

And they all go marching
down
into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching eight by eight.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching eight by eight.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching eight by eight;

The little one stops to rollerskate,

And they all go marching

into the ground
to get out
of the rain.

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching nine by nine.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching nine by nine.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching nine by nine;

The little one stops to drink and dine,

And they all go marching

Boom, boom, boom!

The ants go marching ten by ten.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching ten by ten.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

The little one stops to shout

"THE END!!"

Five Little Ants



Five little ants in an ant hill,
(close fist, palm down)

Busily working and never still,
(wiggle knuckles)

Do you think they are alive?

See them come out...

One, two, three, four, five.
(bring fingers out one at a time)

These five little ants near an ant hill,
(wiggle fingers of one hand toward closed fist of other hand)

Run as hard and run with a will,

To gather food to keep alive,

Now they go in...

One, two, three, tour, five.
(close fingers into fist)

5 Hungry Ants



Five hungry ants marching in a line,
Came upon a picnic where they could dine.
They marched into the salad,
They marched into the cake,
They marched into the pepper…
Uh oh! That was a mistake!
A..a..a..choo!

Four hungry ants marching in a line… (etc)

Bug Song



 To tune of: Wheels on the Bus

The firefly at night goes blink blink blink
Blink blink blink blink blink blink
The firefly at night goes blink blink blink
All around the town
 
Additional Verses:

The bees in the flowers go buzz buzz buzz....
The ants in the grass go march march march...
The crickets in the leaves go chirp chirp
The caterpillar in the field goes creep creep creep....

Ant Hill



Once I saw an ant hill with no ants about.
(hold out fist with fingers tucked in)

So I said, "Dear little ants, won't you come out?"

Then, as if the little ants had heard my call,

One, two, three, four, five come out?
(as numbers are called, fingers are extended)

And that was all!
