One, two, three, four
Counting’s how we keep the score
Five, six, seven, eight
Count the minutes; don’t be late
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
No one’s left out on the shelf
'Cause you count and I count
We count and they count
Each and every person counts

One, two, three, four
Count the dancers on the floor
Five, six, seven, eight
Counting helps us celebrate
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
No one’s left out on the shelf
'Cause you count and I count
We count and they count
Each and every person counts

You can count on me
To count with you
Counting together helps us to learn what is true
Numbers don’t lie
On that you can rely
Counting together helps us to know what to do

One, two, three, four
Count the votes, no need for war
Five, six, seven, eight
Count again; correct mistakes
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
No one’s left out on the shelf
'Cause you count and I count
We count and they count
Each and every person counts

One, two, three, four
Everyone’s accounted for
Five, six, seven, eight
Counting makes our country great
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
No one’s left out on the shelf
'Cause you count and I count
We count and they count
Each and every person counts

You can count on me
To count with you
Counting together helps us to learn what is true
Numbers don’t lie
On that you can rely
Counting together helps us to know what to do
Counting together helps us to learn what is true
Counting together helps us to know what to do
