Won’t my mommy be so proud of me?

The Ants Go Marching
All Around My Yard
The ants in the grass go
march, march, march,
march, march, march,
march, march, march,
The ants in the grass go
march, march, march,
all around my yard.
The fireflies at night go
blink, blink, blink...
all around my yard.
The little caterpillar goes
wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...
all around my yard.
The grasshoppers like to go
jump, jump, jump...
all around my yard.
