When The Saints Go Marching In
Traditional, lyrics adapted by Eric Litwin and Michael Levine
Lyrics:
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
How I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
Oh, when the ducks begin to quack
Oh, when the ducks begin to quack
How I want to be in that number
When the ducks begin to quack
Quack quack quack quack...
Oh, when the frogs begin to hop
Oh, when the frogs begin to hop
How I want to be in that number
When the frogs begin to hop
Boing boing boing boing!
