How to lead it
Hold up five fingers and put one down each verse. Jump on every SPLASH. The last verse is quiet until the surprise, so drop your voice right down.
Lyrics
The words in brackets are the child's. Leave the gap and wait.
Five little puddles in a shiny little row, Five little puddles, and the sun's still low. Along came a boot and the boot came down — SPLASH went one, and then there were FOUR. Four little puddles in a shiny little row, Four little puddles, and the wind's still slow. Along came a boot and the boot came down — SPLASH went one, and then there were THREE. Three little puddles in a shiny little row, Three little puddles, and the clouds still go. Along came a boot and the boot came down — SPLASH went one, and then there were TWO. Two little puddles in a shiny little row, Two little puddles, and the grass still grows. Along came a boot and the boot came down — SPLASH went one, and then there was ONE. One little puddle in a shiny little row, One little puddle, and it's time to go. Along came a boot and the boot came down — SPLASH went one, and then there were... none. (quiet) But the sky went grey and the rain came down, And it filled them up all over the town — FIVE little puddles in a shiny little row! Boots on! Ready? Here we go!
