The ants go marching one by one Lyrics
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah.

The little one stops to suck his thumb.
And they all go marching down,
To the ground, to get out, of the rain.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Counting to Four Sesame Street
Counting to Four Sesame Street Lyrics
One, two, three, four
Monsters walking ‘cross the floor
I love counting
Counting to the number four
Oh you’re counting
Counting with me
To one less than five
And one more than three
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Penguins that went by the door
I love counting
Counting to the number four
I see four here
I see four there
My favorite number
Nothing can compare
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Chickens just back from the shore
I love counting
Counting to the number four
Oh, we’re counting to four
Oh, let’s count some more
One, two, three, four
Chickens just back from the shore
One, two, three, four
Penguins that went by the door
One, two, three, four
Monsters walking ‘cross the floor
Counting to four
Counting to four
Counting to four
Counting to four
