Ten Little Boy Scouts

One little Boy Scout beating a tat-too; A little comrade heard the call—then there were two. Two little Boy Scouts climbing up a tree; Along came another one—then there were three. Three little Boy Scouts standing by the door; Running out they met a Scout—then there were four. Four little Boy Scouts in the water dive; Another one swam up to them—then there were five. Five little Boy Scouts doing lots of tricks; Their captain called out, "Shoulder arms!"—then there were six. Six little Boy Scouts looking up to heaven; An airship brought another down—then there were seven. Seven little Boy Scouts got to school quite late; They found a scholar in the room—then there were eight. Eight little Boy Scouts dressed up very fine; They caught a little ragged one—then there were nine. Nine little Boy Scouts chased a speckled hen; They bumped into another Scout—then there were ten. Ten little Boy Scouts yelling "Hip, hurrah!" This is all there is to tell—these are all there are!
