歌词
One, two, three (Andy said)
Four, five, six (Johnny said)
Seven, eight, nine
Ten, eleven, twelve
Twe-e-elve swingin on a tree
Twe-e-elve swingin on a tree
Twelve children
Swingin on a tree
Mommmy says come down
Before you break your knee (Mommy said)
Twe-e-elve swingin on a tree
Twe-e-elve swingin on a tree
Mom says come down
Before it gets too late
Four come climbin down
Brings us down to eight
Ei-ei-eight swingin on the tree
Ei-ei-eight swingin on the tree
Mommy say's work to do
Ya have a well to fix
Two, a pair'll listen
It brings us down to six
Si-i-ix swingin on the tree
Si-i-ix swingin on the tree (mommy said)
Listen up, listen up
If you want to stay alive
One of them feared his life
Playtime only five
Fi-i-ive swingin on the tree
Fi-i-ive swingin on the 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 now, 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
