Work To Do

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 what to do

Before it gets too late

Four come climbin down

It leaves us only eight (and I say)

Ei-ei-eight swingin on the tree

Ei-ei-eight swingin on the tree



Mommy said come down

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



(INTRO RIFF)



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

(INTRO RIFF)

Work to do, work to do

Work to do, work to do

(END ON F#)
