Momus - The Counting Song lyrics

One to begin you, two to bid you
Three to bite you, and four to blow you
Five to break you, six to bring you
Seven to burst you, and eight to catch you

Nine to choose you, ten to come you
Eleven to dive you, and twelve to do you
Thirteen to drag you, fourteen to draw you
Fifteen to drink you
And sixteen to drown you

Seventeen to drive you, eighteen to eat you
Nineteen to fall you, twenty to fight you
Twenty-one to flee you
Twenty-two to flow you
Twenty-three to fly you
And twenty-four to forsake you

Twenty-five to freeze you
Twenty-six to give you
Twenty-seven to go you
And twenty-eight to grow you
Twenty-nine to hang you, thirty to hide you
Thirty-one to know you
And thirty-two to lay you

Thirty-three to lead you
Thirty-four to lie you
Thirty-five to raise you
And thirty-six to ride you
Thirty-seven to ring you
Thirty-eight to rise you
Thirty-nine to run you, and forty to see you

Forty-one to set you, forty-two to shake you
Forty-three to shine you
And forty-four to show you
Forty-five to shrink you
Forty-six to sing you
Forty-seven to sink you
And forty-eight to sit you

Forty-nine to slay you, fifty to speak you
Fifty-one to spring you
And fifty-two to steal you
Fifty-three to strive you
Fifty-four to swear you
Fifty-five to swim you
And fifty-six to swing you

Fifty-seven to take you
Fifty-eight to tear you
Fifty-nine to throw you
And sixty to wake you
Sixty-one to wear you, sixty-two to weave you
Sixty-three to wring you
And sixty-four to write you

One to begin you, two to bid you
Three to bite you, and four to blow you
Five to break you, six to bring you
Seven to burst you, and eight to catch you
