Lyrics:

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
Ladybugs
Came to the ladybugs' picnic

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
And they all played games
At the ladybugs' picnic

They had twelve sacks so they ran sack races
And they fell on their backs and they fell on their faces
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic

They played jump rope but the rope it broke
So they just sat around telling knock-knock jokes
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic

One two three
Four five six
Seven eight nine
Ten eleven twelve
And they chatted away
At the ladybugs' picnic

They talked about the high price of furniture and rugs
And fire insurance for ladybugs
The ladybugs 12
At the ladybugs' picnic
12!

[tyler kerr]

can someone please tell me what game this was from??? please

[Tiny Dancer]

Not totally sure, but I think I took this from the "Numbers" CD-ROM, too.

[gwarbrick]

What advert used this song, HELP.

[Tiny Dancer]

The most recent ad I'm aware of was in the UK for Heinz Salad Cream.

[TheNovellaB]

Why do ladybugs need fire Insurance? Because fire was the only means of destroying the larvae way back in1916..I love Sesame Street, they combined joy with facts so seamlessly that you don't even realise you're learning some history.

[Tiny Dancer]

Could be, I just assumed it referred to the nursery rhyme that starts:

Ladybird, ladybird fly away home

Your house is on fire and your children are gone

[Veston Bruno]

I don't think that's Bud Luckey singing, that's Jerry Nelson! I can tell that.

[Clare McFadden]

I'm 31 in September and I loved this song when I was growing up... I watched Sesame Street from the time I had enough sense to know what tv was until I was 15 when they took it off the air in the UK though why they took it off I will never know cos it was great

[NinjagoGuy416]

I first heard this song when I was 4, and now, 10 years later, I still love it!

[ffejbboc]

This singer almost sounds like a cross between Harry Gross and Jack White.

[ejrosenthal]

This song relaxes me.

[niallhoranlover422]

Omg! Harry Styles watches this every day! I have proof!

[dmreeoogdaq]

A lot of people say that a kazoo is a child's toy. I'd like to see a little child try to play that.

(I sure do hope someone here has seen the documentary "Mule Skinner Blues".)

[Erik Soe]

Such a jovial song that I used to hear when I was a little boy!

[Creswell Formey]

I'm 42...and me, too! LOL!

[dmuldoon22]

That's too cute
