Lyrics

One fat hen, a couple of ducks, three brown bears
Four running hares, five fat Emilies
You gonna dance? six simple Simon sitting on a stump
Seven Siamese sailors sailing on the seven seas
Eight egotistical egotists sticking in and out of existence
Nine nibbling, nibbling, nibbling eyes, nibbling, nibbling
Trying to track through thick clay, black clay... timertan!
Ho! Ho!
We back at you again!
W-G-A-P!
And y'all thought we was gone
Now then
We need it?
We need all?
It's about that bumping up your gum!
F-U-N for fun! That's what y'all say, ain't it, pal?
