The Ants Go Marching



The ants go marching 2 by 2,
Hurrah. Hurrah.
The ants go marching 2 by 2,
Hurrah. Hurrah.
The ants go marching 2 by 2,
the little one stops to tie his shoe,
And they all go marching
Down to the earth to get out of the rain.

3 by 3 : the little one stops to climb a tree
4 by 4 : the little one stops to knock at the door.
5 by 5 : the little one stops to look at the hive.
6 by 6 : the little one stops to do some tricks.
7 by 7 : the little one stops to look at heaven
8 by 8 : the little one stops to open the gate
9 by 9 : the little one stops to check the time.
10 by 10: the little one starts all over again.
