The ants go marching one by one
Through the shade into the sun
The ants go marching two by two
Down my wall and over my shoe
The ants go marching three by three
Round my yard and cross my street
The ants go marching four by four
Over my roof and under my floor
Uh huh uh huh uh huh

The ants go marching five by five
Marching makes them feel alive
The ants go marching six by six
Carrying leaves and tiny sticks
The ants go marching seven by seven
Marching seems like their obsession
The ants go marching eight by eight
Right across my dinner plate
Uh huh uh huh uh huh

The ants go marching nine by nine
In an endless bending twisted line
The ants go marching ten by ten
When the march is done they start again
The ants go marching eleven by eleven
Faster now in quick succesion
The ants go marching twelve by twelve
Circling back in on themselves
Uh huh uh huh uh huh
