"The Ants Go Marching."
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of information about the song "The Ants Go Marching." But from what I was able to find, "The Ants Go Marching" is a children's that first appeared in Barney's Campfire Singalong (1990) [4]. While the author of the song is unknown, it is a pretty popular song. It is sung following the tune of the US Civil War song, "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." It is also one of the main songs from the movie Antz [1]. Though the lyrics are changed around a bit for the movie, it is still sung in the same tune.
The ants go marching one by one.
Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go marching one by one. Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go marching one by one; The little one stops to suck his thumb, And they all go marching down into the ground To get out of the rain. Boom, boom, boom, boom! The ants go marching two by two. Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go marching two by two. Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go marching two by two; The little one stops to tie his shoe, And they all go marching down into the ground To get out of the rain. Boom, boom, boom, boom! The ants go marching three by three. Hoorah! Hoorah! The ants go marching three by three. Hoorah! Hoorah!
