5 Little Instruments
Rhymes

 

 



 

5 Little Instruments were having lots of fun.

Making silly noises and playing one by one.

First we heard the saxophone with a melody so sweet.

The music that the sax played nearly knocked me off my feet.

 

When the sax was finished he headed for the door leaving four little instruments having lots of fun.

Making silly noises and playing one by one.

Then we heard the trumpet make a sound so clear and true.

Toot-Toot-Biddily Boo-Whoop-Whoop-De Do-

 

When that trumpet had finished he twirled round like a bee leaving three little instruments having lots of fun.

Making silly noises and playing one by one.

Next came the drums with a thundering, pounding, roar.

The sounds that came from that drum set my feet dancing once more.

Bop-Bop- a-whee-Bop-Bop bop e do-

 

The drum played and played until there were just two.

Two little instruments are having lots of fun.

Making silly noises and playing one by one.

Suddenly the tambourine chimed in to play the song.

The people started clapping and tapping right along.

That tambourine played all night long until we saw the sun.

 

Be bop- a doobie wop- cha cha now there’s one.

One little instrument having lots of fun

He adds the final Be-bop and now the song is done.
