Old Mary Mack

There's a children's song entitled 'Old Mary Mack' and it goes
like this:
Old Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black black black
With silver buttons buttons buttons
All down her back back back
She went to the store store store
With fifteen cents cents cents.

Rhyme

The Ants

The ants go marching one by one: Hurrah! Hurrah!
The ants go marching one by one, Hurrah! Hurrah!

Chorus:*

The ants go marching one by one, the little one stops to shoot his gun, and they all go marching down to the earth, to get out of the rain, Boom Boom Boom!

The ants go marching two by two...the little one stops to tie his shoe...

three by three...climb a tree

four by four...slam the door

five by five...do the jive

six by six...pick up sticks

even by seven...go to heaven

eight by eight...shut the gate

nine by nine...check the time

ten by ten...shout THE END!
