Lyrics for ‘One Elephant’
One elephant went out to play
Upon a spider’s web one day.
He had such enormous fun,
He called for another elephant to come… “Oh, ELEPHANT!”
Two elephants…
Three elephants…
Four elephants…
Five elephants…
Five elephants went out to play
Upon a spider’s web one day.
The web went creak, the web went crack.
And all of the elephants went KERSPLAT!
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
One, Two, Three, Four, Five lyrics
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right.
Ten in the Bed
Ten in the Bed lyrics
There were ten in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were nine in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were eight in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were seven in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were six in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were five in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were four in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were three in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There were two in the bed
And the little one said,
“Roll over! Roll over!”
So they all rolled over
And one fell out
There was one in the bed
And the little one said,
“Good night!”
Five Little Speckled Frogs
Five Little Speckled Frogs lyrics
Five little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were four green speckled frogs.
Glug glubg!
Four little speckled frogs,
Sat on a special log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were three green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Three little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were two green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Two little speckled frogs,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
One jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there was one green speckled frog.
Glug glug!
One little speckled frog,
Sat on a speckled log,
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yum yum!
He jumped into the pool,
Where it was nice and cool,
Then there were no green speckled frogs.
Glug glug!
Five Currant Buns
Five Currant Buns lyrics
Five currant buns in a baker’s shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.
Four currant buns in a baker’s shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.
Three currant buns in a baker’s shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.
Two currant buns in a baker’s shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought a currant bun and took it away.
One currant bun in a baker’s shop.
Big and round with a cherry on the top,
Along came a boy with a penny one day,
Bought the currant bun and took it away.
