Five Lyrics - Singles - Lorraine Feather

One night in June, I was visiting my girlfriend, 

When suddenly there came a little voice from behind 

Phoebe announcing that she could do a backbend. 

My friend tried to shush her, I really didn't mind. 

Oh mommy, mommy, I gotta tell you one other thing, she said, 

Her face upside-down and red. 

Okay, young lady, then you'd better get your butt back to bed. 

She said: 

I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five, 

I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five. 

What a clever little girl! 

Where in the world did you learn to count to five? 

I'm blown away by your new ability, 

Pointing out that you are one. 

And she and I make three; 

Kitty and the turtle make five, make five. 

You know Melissa, I really can't ignore 

The way she counts to five when the music is in four. 

She's a darling thing, a gem of a child, 

But this obsession with five has gone on for awhile. 

She's got five dolls, five braids on her head, 

Five pairs of shoes at the foot of her bed. 

I can't imagine where this might end, but honey, 

Maybe you should talk to her five best friends about it. 

Uh-oh, here she comes again. 

One two three four five, one two three four five, 

I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five, I can count to five. 

What a pleasure, little girl, 

Hearing the confident way you count to five! 

You say the numbers with such authority, 

Pointing out that you are one, 

And she and I make three, 

Kitty and the TV make five, make five. 

I can count to five [13 X], 

All the way to five.
