Nothing to Count Songtext
von Count von Count

What can you do when there′s nothing to count
Late at night all alone in your room?
You can't see a thing so there′s nothing to count
As you lie there awake in the gloom
Ah, but then you begin to imagine
And then suddenly blam and kaboom
You imagine

One little birdie flying through the air
Two little birdies, see them flying there
Here comes birdie number three
See how cute he looks to me
Then four, then five, and you
And I've imagined five little birdies
What a nice amount
And that's what to do when there′s nothing to count


What can you do when there′s nothing to count
And the world is a dark empty place?
What can you count when the world is so dark
That you can't count the nose on your face?
Ah, the thing you can do is imagine
And then everything falls into place
You imagine

One chubby elephant dancing overhead
Oh, two chubby elephants up above your bed
Here comes elephant number three
See how chubby he looks to me
Then four, then five, then you
And I′ve imagined five chubby elephants
What a nice amount
And that's what to do when there′s nothing to count

One day I may even try to imagine counting sheep
As I close my eyes and count myself to sleep
One snore
Two snores
Three snores
Four snores
Five snores
