One was Johnny, who lived by himself
Two was a rat who jumped on his shelf
Three was a cat who chased the rat
Four was a dog who came in and sat
Five was a turtle who bit the dog´s tail
Six was a monkey who brought in the mail
Seven a black bird pecked poor Johnny´s nose
Eight was a tiger out selling old clothes
Nine was a robber who took an old shoe
Ten was a puzzle, what should Johnny do?
He stood on a chair and said:
Here´s what I´ll do,
I´ll start to count backwards
I´ll start to count backwards
And when I´m through
If this house isn´t empty
I´ll eat all of you!
If this house isn´t empty
I´ll eat all of you!
9 was a robber who left looking pale
8 was a tiger who chased him to jail
7 the black bird flew off to Havana
6 was a monkey who stole a banana
5 was the turtle who crawled off to bed
4 was the dog who slid home on his sled
3 was a cat who pounced on the rat
2 was the rat who left with the cat
1 was Johnny who lived by himself
And liked it like that!
