Green Grow the Rushes Go

I'll sing you one o'
(Green grow the rushes go)
What is the one o'?
(One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so)

I'll sing you two o'
(Green grow the rushes go)
What is the two o'?
(Two, two, the little green frogs, jumping over lily ponds
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so)

I'll sing you three o'
(Green grow the rushes go)
What is the three o'?
(Three, three, the dragon flies
Two, two, the little green frogs, jumping over lily ponds
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so)

I'll sing you four o'
(Green grow the rushes go)
What are the four o'?
Four are the little brown ducklings
(Three, three, the dragonflies
Two, two, the little green frogs, jumping over lily ponds
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so)

I'll sing you five o'
(Green grow the rushes go)
What are the five o'?
Five are the buzzing hunnybees
(Five are the buzzing hunnybees
Four are the little brown ducklings
Three, three, the dragonflies
Two, two, the little green frogs, jumping over lily ponds
One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so)

One is one and all alone and ever more shall be so
