Ten Little Indians

Ten little Indians standing in a line

One stood looking at another man's wife

Then there were nine

Nine little Indians

Their hearts all full of hate

One took another's goods

Then there were eight

Eight little Indians

They just got down from heaven

One told a lie about another's best friend

Then there were seven

Seven little Indians

All tryin' to get their kicks

One thought he found another way to get to heaven

Then there were six

Six little Indians

All trying to stay alive

One took another's life

Then there were five

Five little Indians

All trying to find the door

One pulled his mother down

Then there were four

Four little Indians

All thinkin' that they gotta be free

One little Indian forgot to say his prayers

Then there were three

Three little Indians

Deciding what they're gonna have to do

One took the name of God in vain

Now there were two

Two little Indians

Thinkin' that they ought to have some fun

One took a liking to a picture of himself

Now there was one

One little Indian

Out lookin' for the sun

At six o'clock the moon came out

Then there were none
