ENG 110: All Together Now (The Beatles)

Nice song to review numbers, the alphabet and colors.


One, two, three, four,
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
I love you.
A, B, C, D,
Can I bring my friend to tea?
E, F, G, H, I, J,
I love you.

Bom bom bom bom-pa bom
Sail the ship bom-pa bom
Chop the tree bom-pa bom
Skip the rope bom-pa bom
Look at me.

All together now, 
all together now,
All together now, 
all together now,

Black, white, green, red,
Can I take my friend to bed?
Pink, brown, yellow, orange, and blue,
I love you.

All together now, 
all together now,
All together now,
all together now,

Bom bom bom bom-pa bom
Sail the ship bom-pa bom
Chop the tree bom-pa bom
Skip the rope bom-pa bom

Look at me.
All together now, 
all together now,
All together now, 
all together now,
All together now, 
all together now, 
all together now,
All together now, 
all together now...
