Work to Do

One, two, three, Andy said

Four, five, six, Johnny said

Seven, eight, nine

Ten, eleven, twelve

Twelve swingin' on a tree

Twelve swingin' on a tree

Twelve children swingin' on a tree

Mommy says come down

Before you break a knee, Mommy said

Twelve swingin' on a tree, and I'll say it again

Twelve swingin' on a tree

Mom says, "What to do?"

Before it gets too late

Four come climbin' down

It leaves us only eight, and I say

Eight swingin' on a tree

Eight swingin' on a tree

Mommy says, "Come down

Have a well to fix"

Two a pair'll listen

It brings us down to six

Six swingin' on a tree

Six swingin' on a tree

Mommy said, "Listen up, listen up

If you want to stay alive"

One of them feared his life

Playtime only five

Five swingin' on a tree

Five swingin' on a tree

Five little children

All of them are fun

Mommy went and shook the branch

All fell down, but one, and she say

"Come on down, Johnny boy

Listen to what I say

There's a lot of work to do

No more time to play, because we got

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do"
