Joannie works with one hammer
one hammer, one hammer
Joannie works with one hammer
then she works with two.
Joannie works with two hammers
two hammers, two hammers
Joannie works with two hammers
then she works with three.
Joannie works with three hammers
three hammers, three hammers
Joannie works with three hammers
then she works with four.
Joannie works with four hammers
four hammers, four hammers
Joannie works with four hammers
then she works with five.
Joannie works with five hammers
five hammers, five hammers
Joannie works with five hammers
then she goes to sleep.
