Five Little Skunks

We love to sing Five Little Skunks. It’s a fun song that highlights counting down from 5 to one.

Five little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only four little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Three.
Four

Four little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only three little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Three.
Oh

Three little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot to eat
and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see
There were only two little skunks
walking along with me. One. Two. Oh. Oh.
Two little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see

There was only one little skunk
walking along with me. One. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh.
One little skunk went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
But, when I saw people running
and I looked around,
I was quite surprised to see

There were no more little skunks
walking along with me.
There were no more little skunks
walking along with me.
Well, now the people were gone
and the park was empty.
It was quite a sight to see.
The five little skunks they had disappeared.
There was no one left but me.
But, then I heard a funny noise
And when I looked around,
much to my surprise

Five little skunks were standing there
right before my very eyes!
One. Two. Three. Four
Five little skunks went out with me
on a picnic one fine day.
We were looking for a shady spot
to eat and a nice little place to play.
Well, we found a shady spot
and we all sat down underneath
a big old tree.
And we had a picnic that day
five little skunks and me!
And we had a picnic that day
—five little skunks and me!
