Lyrics
The Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the famous opera star is Lottie Lemon and Her Singing Wig.

Lottie Lemon and Her Singing Wig: In this opera, I will strive to sing and count until we're done. For it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Counting makes you feel alive and it's also lots of fun. For it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Here are some sheep from Farmer Clive Playing the accordion. For it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Here are some pigs from Camastein. Counting them quickly before they fly. For it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. And then from the Amazon right into the sun for it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. As I sang when we began counting is such fun for it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 backwards 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
