Counting Song, The

by Ralph McTell

One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten

It's easy to count from one to ten
We've got five fingers on each hand
One Two Three Four Five
And counting every one of them
Five and five together make ten
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten

But learning to say your A B C
Is harder than counting one two three
A  B C D E
What comes next, let me see
but if we sing this little tune
I'm sure you'll learn it ever so soon
A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  
O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

Learning to count can be such fun
Using fingers and your thumbs
One Two Three Four Five 
One Two Three Four Five
For counting every one of them
Five and five together make ten
One Two Three Four Five Six Seven Eight Nine Ten
One Two Three Four Five 
One Two Three Four Five 
A  B  C  D  E  F  G  H  I  J  K  L  M  N  
O  P  Q  R  S  T  U  V  W  X  Y  Z

Letters and numbers all the time
Are easier with a little rhyme
One Two Three Four Five 
Let's sing the Counting Song again
For five and five together make ten
