Lyrics
Gift Fur You: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pig feet. But my name's not Peter Piper. It's Gift Fur You and I lived on Sesame Street and this is my mother and she can't find me no matter which way she looks with both of her eyes.

Fa-La-Ah-Ah-Ahhh!: Where is he? Where is that Gift Fur You?

Gift Fur You: (scatting) Did somebody call me by my first name first and my second name second?

Fa-La-Ah-Ah-Ahhh!: Yes, somebody did. Now look, it's about time you got here. Now come on, we've got to go through with these numbers.

Gift Fur You: My numbers, I know my numbers, mama. I know my numbers. 1 to 10, 1 to 10. Oh, I know my numbers.

Fa-La-Ah-Ah-Ahhh!: Uh, huh. We're gonna...we're gonna see how much you know your numbers.
