Ladybugs and Frogs

FIVE LITTLE LADY BUGS (down from amazon.com song #4, "Five Little Lady Bugs: album by Karyn Henley, also available for downloading on cdbaby.com)

Five little lady bugs all in a row.

Out to the garden they started to go.

But one of them stepped on the other one’s toe.

Uh-oh, there she goes!

Four little lady bugs all in a row.

Out to the garden they started to go.

But one little lady bug tripped on a hoe.

Uh-oh, there she goes!

Three little lady bugs all in a row.

Out to the garden they started to go.

But one was frightened by Uncle Joe.

Uh-oh, there she goes!

Two little lady bugs all in a row.

Out to the garden they started to go.

One felt the cold wind starting to blow.

Uh-oh, there she goes!

One little lady bug all in a row. Out to the garden she started to go.


But the sky grew dark and it started to snow. 
Uh-oh, there she goes!


No little lady bugs all in a row. And the garden is covered with snow.
