Lyrics
Johnny works with one hammer,
One hammer one hammer
Johnny works with one hammer,
Johnny works with two.

Johnny works with two hammers,


Two hammers two hammers
Johnny works with two hammers
Johnny works with three.

Johnny works with three hammers,


Three hammers three hammers
Johnny works with three hammers
Johnny works with four.

Johnny works with four hammers,


Four hammers four hammers
Johnny works with four hammers
Johnny works with five.

Johnny works with five hammers,


Five hammers five hammers
Johnny works with five hammers
Now his work is done
