Five Little Unicorns:
One little unicorn went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
He had such enormous fun,
He called for another unicorn to come! "HEY UNICORN!!!"

count up...2, 3, 4, 5...

Five little unicorns went out to play,
On a bright and sunny day.
They had such enormous fun,
They stayed and played till the day was done.

Ten Little Umbrellas (Tune: "Ten Little Indians"):
One little, two little, three little umbrellas,
Four little, five little, six little umbrellas,
Seven little, eight little, nine little umbrellas,
Ten umbrellas up for the rain.

One little, two little, three little raindrops,
Four little, five little, six little raindrops,
Seven little, eight little, nine little raindrops,
Ten raindrops falling down.

Ten little, nine little, eight little raindrops,
Seven little, six little, five little raindrops,
Four little, three little, two little raindrops,
No raindrops out today.

Ten little, nine little, eight little umbrellas,
Seven little, six little, five little umbrellas,
Four little, three little, two little umbrellas,
Everything's put away.
