Five little fish, swimming by the shore,
One got caught, and now there were four.
Four little fish, swimming in the sea,
One got caught, and now there were three.
Three little fish, swimming in the blue,
One got caught, and now there were two.
Two little fish, swimming in the sun,
One got caught, and now there was one.
One little fish, swimming for home,
Decided it was best never to roam.
Variation:
(Swim fingers around for fish, and open and close arms for whale)
Five little fish swimming in a pail
Five little fish swimming in a pail
If one of those fish is swallowed by a whale (GULP!)
There'd be four little fish swimming in a pail
Four little fish . . . (three, two, one)
No little fish swimming in a pail!
