Five little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Four little cherries sitting in a tree
Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Soaking up the sun as happy as can be.
Along came a bird as quick as can be
And snatched that cherry right out of the tree!

Five little strawberries growing in the patch
Along comes a bunny and snatch, snatch, snatch!
He ate it all up and looked around
Then he hopped off without a sound.

Here Are My Ears

Here are my ears
Here is my nose
Here are my fingers
Here are my toes

Here are my eyes
Both open wide
Here is my mouth
With teeth inside

Here is my tongue
That helps me speak
Here is my chin
Here are my cheeks

Here are my hands
That help me play
Here are my feet
For walking today

Five Green Shamrocks

One green shamrock in the morning dew,
Another one sprouted and then there were two.

Two green shamrocks growing under a tree,
Another one sprouted and then there were three.

Three green shamrocks by the cottage door,
Another one sprouted and then there were four.

Four green shamrocks near a beehive,
Another one sprouted and then there were five.

Five green shamrocks soaking up the sun,
Then sharing luck and joy with everyone.

Five Little Leprechauns

5 little leprechauns standing in a row.
One fell down and hurt his toe.

4 little leprechauns climbing up a tree.
One slipped down while spying on me.

3 little leprechauns dancing in the sun.
One sat down and ended all the fun.

2 little leprechauns sing an Irish song.
One wandered off, his voice still strong.

1 little leprechaun guarding all the gold
Fell right asleep and I felt bold.

I crept to his cave as he began to snore.
I snatched up the gold and ran out the door!
