Alley Cats Fingerplay

One orange alley cat wondering what to do

Along comes another cat, And now there are two

Two little alley cats scamper up a tree

Along comes another cat, And now there are three

Three little alley cats, Running through the door

Look here comes another cat! And now there are four

Four little alley cats, Playing in our drive

Out pounces another cat, And now there are five

Five little alley cats, Hear a scary sound

Oh no it’s a dog! Woof, woof

Run, cats, run so we can’t be found!  (Yakaberry)
