Lyrics
Prairie Dawn's Purple Book: (spoken) Hi there, my friend. It's me, your good buddy Prairie Dawn's Purple Book here to tell you a story about the number five. Actually, you know, I used to have some trouble with the number five. Well, uh, let me tell you about it. (singing) Now there's five of us guys who have soda together each day. And you know, I had a problem when my turn to go to the store came my way.

Now the number five wouldn't stick to my head if you know what I mean, huh, huh, huh? So instead of five sodas, I bring like uh three or sixteen? But now, I got a good pal named Grover's Orange Book who's smart as can be like a whip, Grover's Orange Book, you know? One day, Grover's Orange Book takes me aside and my pal to me, he said just...

think of your fingers look at your hand wiggle your fingers then count those fingers and you'll save all your problems and joy will arrive 'cause when you think of your fingers you think of the number five.

(spoken) Well, my problem with the number five was almost solved. But not quite. (singing) 'Cause one day I'm coaching a basketball team at the plant, the plant that's where I worked. Now I usually remember it's five guys to play but this one day I can't. And the game is all set to begin and it's really a shame. I mean, it's a shame because I can't think of the number of players to put in the game. Oh, wow. Just as I'm set to give up, Grover's Orange Book walks in the door. Good old Grover's Orange Book. And he yells, "Hey, Prairie Dawn's Purple Book, just remember the same thing I told you before." He yells just...

think of your fingers (ha, ha) look at your hand (I mean it's right there) wiggle your fingers then count those fingers and you'll save all your problems and joy will arrive 'cause when you think of your fingers you think of the number five.

(spoken) Well, everybody was terrific with me and the number five from that day on. But there was one more thing happened. (singing) I met a kid on the street This kid said to me, he said "Mister, I got a problem that's tough as a problem can be. And then he tells me the problem. He said "Mister, please understand. I have trouble remembering the number of fingers I got on my hand." "Oh boy, kid. You got a problem", I said. But then, out of the blue, just you know, bam, a fantastic idea hits me. Now let me tell it to you. I said "kid...

think of your toesies (ha, ha) look at your foot (how about that?) wiggle your toesies then just keep on put and count up your toesies joy will arrive 'cause when you think of your toesies you think of the number five. Just think of your fingers (oh, yeah) think of your toesies think of your fingers and think of the number five!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, that's it!
