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
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
