The Ants Go Marching
Traditional Children's Song
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
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!
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
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!
The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three, hurrah, hurrah
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 rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
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 rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

July
Song for Teaching About the Months
Picnics, ice cream, apple pie,
Clap your hands ‘cause it’s July!
The seventh month of the year,
For thirty-one days July is here.
Wave your flag, way up high,
Celebrate the fourth of July.
Let’s all wear red, white, and blue,
Fireworks for me and you!
Chorus
Independence is the word,
Patriotic songs are heard.
Let’s join in and sing out loud,
For our country we are proud.
Chorus
Summer’s coming to a peak,
It gets hotter every week.
Hear the crickets chirp at night,
Until the morning sun shines bright.
Chorus

The Little Green Frog
Traditional Song Lyrics
Adapted by Jim Rule Actions
"mm" - Hands closed facing front on either side of face, eyes and mouth closed.
"AH" - Open wide hands, mouth, and eyes. This happens each time you sing this.
"Vo do di o...". - Roll hands in front of you. Lean to the side, changing sides with each “Vo."
"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog one day.
"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog.
"mm AAH!”, went the little green frog one day,
And the little green frog went, “mm AH mm AH mm AH AH!”
All the other frogs went, “Vo do di o di o! (di = dee)
Vo do di o di o! Vo do di o di o!."
All the other frogs went, “Vo do di o!",
But the little green frog went, “mm AH mm AH mm AH AH!"
