“Five Little Mice”
(To the tune of "Five Little Ducks")
Five little mice came out to play
Gathering cheese along the way
Out came the kitty cat, nice and fat – CHOMP!
Four little mice came scampering back.

(Countdown until:)
One little mouse came out to play
Carrying a feather along the way
Out came the kitty cat, nice and fat – A-A-CHOO!
All five mice came scampering back.
Hooray!

“Five Little Goldfish
(To the rhythm of "Five Little Monkeys)
Five little goldfish swimming in the sea
Teasing Mr. Shark, "You can't catch me!"
Along came Mr. Shark, quiet as can be - SNAP!
(Countdown until none are left)
