La melodía procede de una canción yanqui (literalmente, usada por los federales en la Guerra Civil norteamericana) que parece tener su origen en un tema irlandés. En la wikipedia en inglés os hablan de ella. Buscad "When Johnny comes marching home". Yo la conocía de la película Traidor en el infierno (Stalag 17) donde la cantan los presos en un momento importante. En la película de animación Hormigaz (Antz) también la tararean las hormigas soldado que van a la guerra. Además de la letra de carácter patriótico, existen letras infantiles en las que hablan de hormigas marchando (ahora se entiende la referencia), o de los animales entrando de dos en dos en el arca de Noé, que sería el referente para el anuncio.
Dedicado a los que saben cantar y saben morir.

The animals went in two by two
The animals went in two by two, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in two by two, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in two by two, the elephant and the kangaroo
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.
The animals went in three by three, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in three by three, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in three by three, the wasp, the ant and the bumble bee
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.
The animals went in four by four, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in four by four, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in four by four, the great hippopotamus stuck in the door
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.
The animals went in five by five, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in five by five, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in five by five, they warmed each other to keep alive
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.
The animals went in six by six, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in six by six, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in six by six, they turned out the monkey because of his tricks
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.

The animals went in seven by seven, hurrah! hurrah!
The animals went in seven by seven, the little pig thought he was going to heaven
And they all went into the ark, for to get out of the rain.
