I Love Counting: Storytime with Jason (song)

I sure do love counting, I do it every day
I count when I'm eating, I count when I play
At first I thought it was okay, but now I'm in too deep
I love counting so much, I count in my sleep
CHORUS:
1,2 buckle my shoe
3,4 shut the door
5,6 pick up sticks
7,8 lay them straight
9,10 a big fat hen
I went to the doctor to see if he could find
A way to get thiose numbers from filling up my mind
He asked me some questions and set me in a chair
But I knew there'd be trouble when I counted all his hair!
CHORUS
Soon they gave up on me, now I count all the time
Good thing for my family that counting's not a crime
I count my parents' money I count my sister's shoes
and every night at six o'clock I count the EVENING NEWS!
CHORUS
So if you see me counting, you pay me no mind
and don't start counting with me, because you might find
Your fingers start to wiggle and your ears begin to POP
Once you let those numbers go sometimes they just don't stop!
CHORUS
