5 Little Stars and the Moon, Too

5 Little Stars and the Moon, Too

Five little stars shine and shine some more,
One fell to the earth and then there were four.
Four little stars, happy as can be,
One fell to the earth and then there were three.
Three little stars in a sky so blue,
One fell to the earth and then there were two.
Two little stars, having lots of fun,
One fell to the earth and then there was one.
One little star, no to be outdone,
Fell to the earth and then there were none.
The moon came out—what a pretty sight!
He waved to the stars and he said goodnight.

4 Little Stars

Four little stars winking at me 
One shot off and then there were three
Three little stars with nothing to do
One shot off and then there were two
Two little stars afraid of the sun
One shot off and then there was one
One little star alone is no fun
It shot off and then there were none

5 Little Raindrops

(Tune: “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider“)

Five little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Four little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Three little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

Two little raindrops dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes one raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

One little raindrop dancing on the walk
Pitter patter, pitter patter; that’s the way they talk
Out comes the yellow sun, shining in the sky
And away goes that raindrop, bye, bye, bye!

All gone!

5 Pigs So Squeaky Clean

(Tune: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs“)

Five pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD
Then there were four clean squeaky pigs.

Four pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD
Then there were three clean squeaky pigs.

Three pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD
Then there were two clean squeaky pigs.

Two pigs so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD
Then there was one clean squeaky pig.

One pig so squeaky clean
Cleanest you’ve ever seen
Wanted to go outside and play
Oink! Oink!
One jumped into the mud
Landed with a great big THUD
Then there were no clean squeaky pigs.

Then home they’ll zoom!
