Five little chickadees, sitting by a door
One flew away, and then there were four .

Chickadees, chickadees, happy and gay,
Chickadees, chickadees, fly away.

Four little chickadees, sitting in a tree
One flew away, and then there were three. 

Chickadees, chickadees, happy and gay,
Chickadees, chickadees, fly away.  

Three little chickadees, looking at you
One flew away, and then there were two. 

Chickadees, chickadees, happy and gay,
Chickadees, chickadees, fly away.  

Two little chickadees, sitting in the sun
One flew away, and then there was one. 

Chickadees, chickadees, happy and gay,
Chickadees, chickadees, fly away.  

One little chickadee, sitting all alone
That one flew away, and then there was none.
