Five Ocean Friends: Count-Up Song by Flannel Board Fun
Lyrics:
Sing to tune of “Five Little Ducks”
Verse 1 – Fish
No ocean friends swimming all around
No ocean friends that we have found
Along comes a fish with a flip and a dive
When four more friends come, then we’ll have five.
…
We’ve got one (count them), we need four more to make five.
…
Verse 2 – Octopus
One ocean friend swimming all around
One ocean friend that we have found
Along comes an octopus with a squiggle and a dive
When three more friends come, then we’ll have five.
…
We’ve got two (count them), we need three more to make five.
…
Verse 3 – Tuna
Two ocean friends swimming all around
Two ocean friends that we have found
Along comes a tuna with a flash and a dive
When two more friends come, then we’ll have five
…
We’ve got three (count them), we need two more to make five.
…
Verse 4 – Shark
Three ocean friends swimming all around
Three ocean friends that we have found
Along comes a shark with a snap and a dive
When one more friend comes, then we’ll have five.
…
We’ve got four (count them), we just need one more to make five.
…
Verse 5 – Whale
Four ocean friends swimming all around
Four ocean friends that we have found
Along comes a whale with a spout and a dive
Now all our friends are here so we have five.
(Count them!)
