Song 4: "Whoops, Lost Count!"

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen...whoops lost count!

Start again...back to the beginning.

​

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen...whoops lost count!

Start again...we must find a better way.

​

I think we need a proper census
This method isn’t working, you can all go home
Let’s get them all to travel

To the place where they were born

Then count them, tax them, send it back to Rome!

​

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen...whoops lost count!

Start again...back to the beginning.

​

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Thirteen, fourteen...whoops lost count!
Start again...now we’ve found a better way...

STOP!
