One Two Buckle my shoe
Children's Music Lyrics

The song "One Two Buckle my shoe" is a children's counting or numeracy song that dates back to the early 18th century. The lyrics begin with "one two, buckle my shoe," which then progresses to "three four, shut the door," "five six, pick up sticks," "seven eight, don't be late," and "nine ten, begin again."

The song's lyrics are simple and easy to remember, which makes it an excellent tool for teaching young children how to count or remember numbers. The rhyme scheme used in the lyrics makes it more fun for children to recite and memorize. The song also encourages children to perform different actions with their bodies as they recite the lyrics, such as buckle their shoe, shut the door, and pick up sticks, which helps improve their hand-eye coordination.

Interestingly, the origins of the song are not clear. Some sources suggest that it may have originated in the British Isles and was disseminated throughout Europe, while others suggest that it may have originated in the United States. Regardless of its origins, the song has become an ubiquitous part of childhood and is enjoyed by children all over the world.
