Lyrics
Prairie Dawn's Purple Book: (spoken) Ah, my lovely bats. How are you, my little darlings? Yes. I will count you all and then you'll go off and play. Ah, ah, ah. 1, 2, 3...hmmm... 1, 2, 3...oh, I can't remember what comes after three? I forget. I, Prairie Dawn's Purple Book, have forgotten how to count. This is terrible, horrible, abominable and not so good. (singing) 1, 2, 3 and then, I'm sure there's more. After number three, comes the number uh, nine? This is really bad. Boy, it makes me sore. Counting up to three and missing number six. Once I can count to fifty, that was really nifty. But now when I count to three, because things get shifty. You can help me out. You there on the floor. What comes after three? What? Oh, thank you. Number four. 1, 2, 3 and then, I'm sure there's more. After number three, comes the number nine. This is really bad. Boy, it makes me sore. Counting up to three and missing number six. Once I can count to fifty, that was really nifty. But now when I count to three, because things get shifty. You can help me out. You there on the floor. What comes after three? I can't hear you. Oh, thank you. Number four. Ha, ha! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6! I've done it again! Ah, ha, ha, ha ha! 7, 8, 9, 10! Yes! (laughing) (spoken) Yes, run play now, my children. Yes, my children. Yes. (laughing) Oh, they're so wonderful!
