the ants go marching

The ants go marching two by two hurrah, hurrah.
The ants go marching two by two hurrah, harrah.
The ants go marching two by two,
the little one stops to tie his shoe,
and they all go marching
down in the big parade.  

I was looking up lyrics--this is how I sang it when I was little--but online I am not finding "down in the big parade."  Did I make that up?  Did my dad make that up?

    I always learned the last part as "and they all go marching down, to the ground, to get out of the rain."

    Hmm, if and when I see you again, maybe you can sing it for me. :)

    This is a bit different than we sang the verses (I remember doing one number at a time, not several together), but this has the part about getting out of the rain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARfLaNJcpsw
