One Man Went To Mow (Audio Sample and Lyrics)
One man went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
One man and his dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Two men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Three men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Four men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men, four men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Five men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,
four men, five men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Six men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,
four men, five men, six men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Seven men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,
four men, five men, six men, seven men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Eight men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,
four men, five men, six men,
seven men, eight men
and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Nine men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,

seven men, eight men,
nine men and their dog named Spot,
went to mow a meadow.
Ten men went to mow,
went to mow a meadow,
One man, two men, three men,

and their dog named Spot. Huh,
went to mow a meadow.

Background notes
Outside of England English grass is pretty famous. Nowhere else in the world grass is quite that green and no other people in the world would create songs about mowing meadows. Anyway, we learn to count up to ten. Try to sing along and don't forget to clap your hands at the end of every line. Can you hit the right "Spot" every time?
