And Then There Were None

Ten little Indian Boys went out to dine,

One choked his little self and then there were nine

Nine little Indian Boys sat up very late,

One overslept himself and then there were eight

Eight little Indian Boys traveling in Devon,

One said he’d stay there and then there were seven

Seven little Indian Boys chopping up sticks,

One chopped himself in halves and then there were six

Six little Indian boys playing with a hive,

A bumblebee stung one and then there were five

Five little Indian Boys going in for law,

One got in chancery and then there were four

Four little Indian Boys going out to sea,

A red herring swallowed one and then there were three

Three little Indian Boys walking in the zoo,

A big bear hugged one and then there were two

Two little Indian Boys sitting in the sun,

One got frizzled up and then there were one

One little Indian Boy left all alone,

He went and hanged himself and then there were none
