The repetitious counting camp songs, short and long bring great enjoyment for kids of all ages!
Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs
Yum-yum!
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs.
Four green and speckled frogs...
This camp song is so repititious, you'll be tired of it long before you ever finish. So will anyone who is listening!
Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall
Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall,
Ninety-nine bottles of beer,
If one of those bottles should happen to fall,
Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall!
Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall,
Ninety-eight bottles of beer,
If one of those bottles should happen to fall,
Ninety-seven bottles of beer on the wall!
Continue counting backwards all the way to one bottle of beer:
One bottle of beer on the wall,
One lonely bottle of beer,
If that lonely bottle should happen to fall,
No more bottles of beer on the wall!
Alternate version:
Ninety-nine bottles of beer on the wall,
Ninety-nine bottles of beer,
Take one down, pass it around,
Ninety-eight bottles of beer on the wall!
Ants go Marching
The ants go marching one-by-one Hurrah! Hurrah!

The ants go marching two-by-two...

Seven-by-seven: go to Heaven
Eight-by-eight: close the gate
Nine-by-nine: check the time
Ten-by-ten: start again
