Seven silly squirrels
Skating on the ice
Seven silly squirrels
Skating on the ice
One bumped another
It wasn't very nice.

Then there were
Six silly squirrels
Skating on the ice
Six silly squirrels
Skating on the ice
One bumped another
It wasn't very nice.

[Repeat verses for:]
Five silly squirrels
Four silly squirrels
Three silly squirrels
Two silly squirrels
One silly squirrel
No silly squirrels

When you go skating,
Take this advice.
When you go skating,
Take this advice.
Never bump a squirrel
Not even once or twice
Or you'll all go sliding
On the slippery, slippery ice.
