 * Two Headed Monster Purple as Count von Count

Lyrics
Two Headed Monster Purple: (spoken) How do you do? It is I, Two Headed Monster Purple. They call me Two Headed Monster Purple because I love to count things. I was just playing my beautiful organ. Listen to the lovely notes. Ah, beautiful. But you know what is even nicer than playing the notes? What is even nicer is counting the notes. (singing) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight beautiful notes Ha, ha! Yes!

I play eight notes they sound like this When I play them I can't miss 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!

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 play them and 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 Oh what joy, just can't wait, Ev'rybody count to 8. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Eight beautiful notes!

(spoken) Ha, ha! Oh, I love counting those eight notes! Counting eight notes is twice as much as fun as counting four notes! Or four times as much as fun as counting two notes! Or eight times as much as fun as counting them! (laughing) Oh, I love it!
