The ants go marching one-by-one

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching one-by-one

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching one-by-one

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, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching two-by-two

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching two-by-two

Hur-rah, hur-rah

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 rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching three-by-three

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching three-by-three

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching three-by-three

The little one stops climb a tree

And they all go marching down

To the ground

To get out

Of the rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching four-by-four

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching four-by-four

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching four-by-four

And they all go marching down

To the ground

To get out

Of the rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching five-by-five

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching five-by-five

Hur-rah, hur-rah

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching six-by-six

Hur-rah, hur-rah

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching seven-by-seven

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching seven-by-seven

The little one stops to pray to heaven

And they all go marching down

To the ground

To get out

Of the rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching eight-by-eight

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching eight-by-eight

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching eight-by-eight

The little one stops to shut the gate

And they all go marching down

To the ground

To get out

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 rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom


The ants go marching ten-by-ten

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching ten-by-ten

Hur-rah, hur-rah

The ants go marching ten-by-ten

The little one stops to say “the end”

And they all go marching down

To the ground

To get out

Of the rain

Boom, boom, boom, boom,

Boom, boom, boom, boom
