The Ants went Marching

9/9/2019

0 Comments

 
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

​The animals came in…

The (Em) animals came in two by two,
(G) Hoorah, hoorah.
The (Em) animals came in two by two,
(G) Hoorah, hurrah.
(Em) The animals came in (Am) two by two,
(Em) The elephant and the kangaroo.
And they (Em) all (Am) went (Em) into the ark, for to get out of the rain.


Three by three… the wasp, the ant and the bumblebee
Four by four… the elephant nearly got stuck in the door
Eight by eight… the monkey and fox they were nearly late
Nine by nine… the hippo ad stork, they were last in the line
Ten by ten… with Noah, his wife and a snake and a hen
