Five Little Penguins Went Out One Day

About This Song

Five Little Penguins Went Out One Day is a fun and playful counting song about the 5 little penguins wandering off to play in the snow while Mommy Penguin waits for them at home. One snowy day, the little penguins head out over the hill and far away.

When Mommy Penguin calls them to come get their snack, only four little penguins come back. Mommy Penguin counts them one, two, three, four. The next time they go out and she calls, only three come back. Then only two come back, and then just one.

Out in the snow, the little penguins slide on their bellies past an igloo, where a seal is watching. They cross a wooden bridge over the river and keep on going. Then the last little penguin goes out too, and when Mommy Penguin calls, none of the little penguins come back.

Mommy Penguin feels sad and goes looking far, far away. She searches by the icy sea, near the igloo and across the bridge. Then Daddy Penguin calls everyone to come get their snack. All 5 little penguins come running back, and Mommy Penguin counts them one, two, three, four, five.
