Five Songtext
von Lorraine Feather

One night in June I was visiting my girlfriend
When suddenly there came a little voice from behind
Beep beep 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
"Okay young lady, then you 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, it must be driving you wild
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 all this ends
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, 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, 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


All the way to five
The music is in four
All the way
All the way
All the way to
All the way
