Song Lyrics

One, baby count one
While you're having fun with someone else
Don't come around

Two, baby count two
But when you're all through with your romance
Leave me alone

Three and four, four and five, six
And tricks that you try
To catch my eye never work out
I'm on to your game
Seven, eight, nine, you'll find out
You'll never be mine
Because I am a real gal, tried true and blue gal

Ten
Baby, count ten
But when you've the yen to count me in
Count me out

One, two, buckle my shoe
Three, four, shut the door
Five, six, pick up sticks
Seven, eight, a big fat hen (Hen? No! No? No! Aaaah!)

Cynthia Strother, Raymond Saar
