I'm on the lookout for good action songs to lead during music time at my daughter's preschool and this one about marching ants is a good candidate.
However, memorizing the actual lyrics proved to be a tad too challenging for this brain so I made up some of my own. In case I forget those as well (quite likely), here they are -
(sung to the tune of "The Ants Go Marching")
The ants go marching two by two,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching two by two,
the little one stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching three by three,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching three by three,
the little one stops to climb a tree
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching four by four,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching four by four,
the little one stops to shut the door
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching five by five,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching five by five,
the little one stops to give a High Five
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching six by six,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching six by six,
the little one stops to pick up sticks
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching seven by seven,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching seven by seven,
the little one stops to look at heaven
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching eight by eight,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching eight by eight,
the little one stops to eat some cake
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching nine by nine,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching nine by nine,
the little one stops to check the time
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching nine by nine,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching nine by nine,
the little one stops to check the time
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The ants go marching ten by ten,
hurrah! hurrah! (2 times)
The ants go marching ten by ten,
they're home again, and they shout, Amen!
And they all go marching down, to the ground,
to get out of the the rain
Boom, boom, boom.
The End.
