Five Little Seashells
Five little seashells, lying on the shore.
Swish went the waves. Then there were four.
Four little seashells, pretty as can be.
Swish went the waves. Then there were three.
Three little seashells, all pearly new.
Swish went the waves. Then there were two.
Two little seashells, lying in the sun.
Swish went the waves. Then there was one.
One little seashell, lying all alone.
I said Shhhh as I took it home.
