One Two Buckle My Shoe Lyrics
One, two,
Buckle my shoe;
Three, four,
Knock on the door;
Five, six,
Pick up sticks;
Seven, eight,
Lay them straight;
Nine, ten,
A big, fat hen!
Eleven, twelve,
Dig and delve;
Thirteen, fourteen,
Maids ' a-courting;
Fifteen, sixteen,
Maids in the kitchen;
Seventeen, eighteen,
Maids in waiting;
Nineteen, twenty,
My plate 's empty!
It is cool to rap this rhyme
so join with me and keep in time.
Repeat
