Five little chickadees, sitting by a door-
One flew away then there were four
Chorus:
Chickadees, chickadees, happy today
Chickadees, chickadees, fly away
Four little chickadees, sitting in a tree-
One flew away and then there were three
Chorus
Three little chickadees, looking at you-
One flew away, then there were two
Chorus
Two little chickadees, sitting in the sun-
One flew away, and then there was one.
Chorus
One little chickadee, sitting all alone-
That one flew away, and then there was none.
