Let's talk about numbers, but not just any kind
We're focusing on ordinals, they're one of a kind
They tell us the order, like first, second, or third
So listen up closely, and you'll learn every word
Ordinal numbers, they're so much fun
They show us the order, one by one
First, second, third, and so on
Keep counting, and you'll never be done
When it's one, we say "first," it's the start of the race
Then "second" comes next, with a smile on its face
"Third" is the last one, of the top three
But there's more to come, just wait and see
Ordinal numbers, they're so much fun
They show us the order, one by one
First, second, third, and so on
Keep counting, and you'll never be done
"Fourth," "fifth," and "sixth," they keep on going
"Seventh," "eighth," and "ninth," the numbers are showing
"Tenth" is the last one, of the double digits
But don't worry, there's more, it never inhibits
Ordinal numbers, they're so much fun
They show us the order, one by one
First, second, third, and so on
Keep counting, and you'll never be done
Remember the pattern, it's easy to see
Just add "-th" to the end, and you'll be free
Except for "one," which is "first," and "two," which is "second
The rest follow the rule, it's a fact that's reckoned
Ordinal numbers, they're so much fun
They show us the order, one by one
First, second, third, and so on
Keep counting, and you'll never be done
So let's recap the lesson, and have a good time
Ordinal numbers, they're a piece of the rhyme
They tell us the order, in a way that's so neat
Now go out and use them, it's a skill you can't beat
