5 little owls on a dark, dark night.
5 little owls are quite a sight.
5 little owls! Are you keeping score?
1 flies away and that leaves 4.

4 little owls as happy as can be.
1 flies away and that leaves 3.

3 little owls calling, “Who, who, who.”
1 flies away and that leaves 2.

2 little owls having lots of fun.
1 flies away and that leaves 1.

1 little owl and we’re almost done.
He flies away and that leaves none.

Song: “Be Like an Owl” (Tune: “London Bridge”)
Flap your wings and fly around, fly around, fly around.
Flap your wings and fly around, just like an owl.

Open your eyes big and wide, big and wide, big and wide.
Open your eyes big and wide, just like an owl.

Land on the ground and hop along, hop along, hop along.
Land on the ground and hop along, just like an owl.

Turn your head and say, “Who, who! Who, who, who! Who, who, who!”
Turn your head and say, “Who, who,” just like an owl.
