The 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 underground 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 underground 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 climb a tree
And they all go marching down underground 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 little one stops to shut the door;
And they all go marching down underground 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!

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

Five Fat Sausages

Five fat sausages, sizzling in the  pan.
The pan got hot, and one went BAM!

Four fat sausages…
Three fat sausages …
Two fat sausages …
One fat sausages …
No more sausages sizzling in the pan!

 

The More We Read Together [Tune:  “The More We Get Together” ]

The more we read together, together, together, 
The more we read together the better it is!
'Cause reading and singing and talking together, 
Is how you learn the six skills for reading by six.
