Eight Beautiful Notes Lyrics - Sesame Street

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

Eight beautiful notes 

I play eight notes they sound like this 

When I play them I can't miss 

First I play them one by one 

Then I sing them just for fun 

La la la la la la la la 

First I play, then I sing, but counting is my favorite thing 

Counting is my favorite thing! 

Come let us count the notes together 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

Oh what joy, just can't wait, 

Ev'rybody count to 8. 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 

Eight beautiful notes 

Oh boy, do I love counting notes. 

And do you know a wonderful thing about these notes- 

I can count them another way. 

I play eight notes going down 

I play eight notes all over town 

First I play them one by one 

Then I sing them just for fun 

La la la la la la la la 

First I play, then I sing, but counting is my favorite thing 

Counting is my favorite thing! 

Now count the notes backwards from 8. 

Here we go! 

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 

Eight beautiful notes!
