One night in June I was visiting my girlfriend

When suddenly there came a little voice from behind

Phoebe announcing that she could do a backbend

My friend tried to shush her, I really didn't mind

Oh mommy mommy, I gotta tell you one other thing, she said

Her face upside-down and red

OK young lady, then you'd better get your butt back to bed

She said

I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five

I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five

What a clever little girl

Where in the world did you learn to count to five

I'm blown away by your new ability

Pointing out that you are one

And she and I make three

Kitty and the turtle make five, make five

You know Melissa, I really can't ignore

The way she counts to five when the music is in four

She's a darling thing, a gem of a child

But this obsession with five has gone on for awhile

She's got five dolls, five braids on her head

Five pairs of shoes at the foot of her bed

I can't imagine where this might end (215k Wav) , but honey

Maybe you should talk to her five best friends about it

Uh-oh, here she comes again

One two three four five, one two three four five

I can count to five I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five

What a pleasure, little girl

Hearing the confident way you count to five

You say the numbers with such authority

Pointing out that you are one

And she and I make three

Kitty and the TV make five, make five

I can count to five (13 X)

All the way to five
