Five Little Ladybirds is a counting song that teaches children to count backward in a fun and interactive way, counting down from five to zero.
Ladybirds, also known as ladybugs, are small, usually red or orange insects with black spots that are considered beneficial in gardens as they eat aphids, which are pests to plants.
In the USA, the song is known as Five Little Ladybugs.
Lyrics for Five Little LadyBirds
Five little ladybirds climbing on the door,
One flew away, and then there were four.
Four little ladybirds sitting on a tree.
One flew away, and then there were three.
Three little ladybirds sitting on a shoe
One flew away, and then there were two.
Two little ladybirds looking for some fun
One flew away, and then there was one.
One little ladybird hiding behind the sun
One flew away, and then there was none.
