The Ants Go Marching

The ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching two by two hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching three by three
The little one stops to climb a tree ( act out climbing)

And they all go marching
Down to the ground
To get out of the rain
(lower self to ground while singing lower and lower)

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
(raising up and getting louder)

The ants go marching four by four hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching five by five hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching six by six
The little one stops to pick up sticks
( scoop to pick up sticks)

And they all go marching
Down to the ground
To get out of the rain
(lower self to ground while singing lower and lower)

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
(raising up and getting louder)

The ants go marching seven by seven hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight hurrah hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine
The little one stops to check the time
(whisper ticktock ticktock)

And they all go marching
Down to the ground
To get out of the rain
(lower self to ground while singing lower and lower)

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
(raising up and getting louder)

The ants go marching ten by ten
The little one stops to say
THE END (shout it)

And they all go marching
Down to the ground
To get out of the rain
(lower self to ground while singing lower and lower)

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
(raising up and getting louder)
