5 little men in a flying saucer

5 little men in a flying saucer
Flew around to world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away……Woooosh

4 little men in a flying saucer
Flew around to world one day
They looked left and right
But they didn’t like the sight
So one man flew away……Woooosh

Continue by reducing the number each time until 1 left

1 little man in a flying saucer
Flew around the world one day
He looked up and down
And he spied a little town
And said I’d like to stay…….Hey
