A variation on the tune of "The Animals Went in Two by Two"; see below for those words
The (Em) ants went marching one by one,
(G) Hoorah, hoorah.
The (Em) ants went marching one by one,
(G) Hoorah, hurrah.
(Em) The ants went marching (Am) one by one,
(Em) The little one stopped to (Am) suck his thumb.
And they (Em) all (Am) went (Em) marching round and round and down the drain
And round the corner and back again.
Two by two… to do up his shoe
Three by three…’cos he bumped his knee
Four by four… to shut the door
Five by five… to visit a hive
Six by six… to eat a Twix
Seven by seven… to go to Devon
Eight by eight… to close a gate
Nine by nine… to sip some wine
Ten by ten… to start again
