Lyrics - Version 1
(Traditional chant)
One, two, buckle my shoe,
Three, four, shut the door,
Five, six, pick up sticks.
Seven, eight, lay them straight.
Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!
Lyrics - Version 2
One, two, buckle my shoe,
Three, four, shut the door,
Five, six, pick up sticks.
Seven, eight, lay them straight.
Nine, ten, a big fat hen!
