One to ten and back again

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TEN
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TEN
TEN, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, ONE
One silver moon shining in the sky / One last slice of apple pie
One heart, one brain, one nose on your face / Call you number one if you win that race
Number One, 1, 1, 1, NUMBER ONE!

Two legs, 2 arms, 2 shoulders, 2 hips, 2 feet to stomp, 2 hands to grip
Two ears to hear, 2 eyes to see, we’re 2 together just you and me
Number 2, 2, 2, NUMBER TWO!

Three little birds sing “don’t worry about a thing”
It’s 3 strikes your out so swing batter swing
Count to 3 before you jump in on a hot summer’s day when you’re going for a swim
Number 3…

Four is the number of legs on the table
On the zebra, on the donkey, on the horse in the stable
There are 4 fours in a deck of cards and 4 black tires on a red sports car
Number 4…

Give me 5 up high, 5 down low, 5 on the side whoops too slow
Share 10 with a friend and you get 5 each
Starfish have 5 legs you can count them at the beach
Number 5…

If you play the guitar then you strum 6 strings
At 6 o’clock the dinner bell rings
6 faces on a box, six faces on the dice, hockey teams put six players on the ice
Number 6…

Tim Horton wore 7 for the Maple Leafs, 7 colours in a rainbow, 7 days in a week
6 is afraid of 7 because 7 ate 9 and 10
If you heard that one before well you just heard it again
Number 7…

You can make an 8 if you figure skate / if you sink the 8 ball you’re doing just great
Octopus have 8 tentacles, spiders have 8 eyes
The red stop sign well it got 8 sides
Number 8…

The Rocket wore 9 for the Canadians / Nine is that number that comes before ten
The tallest man ever was over 9 feet tall
And 9 Blue Jays shout “Let’s play ball”
Number 9…

Count down from 10 before you go to space
You should count to 10 if you’ve got an angry face
Count it on your fingers count it on your toes
Count it anywhere now that you know how it goes
Number 10, 10, 10, NUMBER TEN

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, TEN
