The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah

 Song:
 Insects Song

In the grass, in the air

Many bugs everywhere.
Little bugs, funny bugs
Come and play with us.

I see a busy bee

Making honey in the tree.

I see an eager ant

Walking down the lane.

I see a ladybug
Crawling on the ground

I see a green grasshopper

Jumping on the clover.

I see a caterpillar
Creeping on the flower

I see a butterfly
Flying so high

I see a tiny fly

Humming gently nearby

I see a dragonfly
Dancing in the sky.
 In the grass, in the air
Many bugs everywhere.
Little bugs, funny bugs
Come and play with us.
