The ants went marching one by one, hurray, hurray.
The ants went marching one by one hurray, hurray!
The ants went marching one by one, they followed scents to get their jobs done,
And they all went marching on till the end of the day.
The grasshoppers hopped two by two, hurray, hurray.
The grasshoppers hopped two by two, hurray, hurray!
The grasshoppers hopped two by two, eating the grasses as grasshoppers do…
And they all went hopping on till the end of the day.
The ladybugs preyed three by three, hurray, hurray.
The ladybugs preyed three by three, hurray, hurray!
The ladybugs preyed three by three, and ate the aphids off the tree…
And they all went preying on till the end of the day.
The butterflies flew four by four, hurray, hurray.
The butterflies flew four by four, hurray, hurray!
The butterflies flew four by four, sipped nectar from flowers then searched for more.
And they all went flying on till the end of the day.
The bees they buzzed five by five, hurray, hurray.
The bees they buzzed five by five, hurray, hurray!
The bees they buzzed five by five, as they guarded their busy beehive.
And they all went buzzing on till the end of the day.
And now the sun is setting, all right, all right!
And all these bugs will go to sleep, all right, all right!
But just because their shift is done, it means the night shift has begun.
And bugs will be busy all through the entire night!
What Will I Be My Darling? (to: Skip to My Lou)
I'm an egg come sit like me (enclose arms overhead to make a circle),
I'm an egg come sit like me,
I'm an egg come sit like me.
What will I be my darling?
I'm a caterpillar, wiggle like me. (wiggle bottom)
I'm a caterpillar wiggle like me.
I'm a caterpillar, wiggle like me.
What will I be my darling?
In a chrysalis, rest like me ( fold hands together and lay head on hands).
In a chrysalis, rest like me.
In a chrysalis, rest like me.
What will I be my darling?
A butterfly come fly like me. (gently flap arms)
A butterfly come fly like me.
A butterfly come fly like me.
That's what I am my darling!
Now all together lets do the four….
Egg, caterpillar, wait there’s two more.
Chrysalis, butterfly, now we are done.
Metamorphosis is fun.
