[English]
(gentle guitar music)
♪ When I'm counting with you ♪
♪ I'm happier than ever ♪
♪ Numbers sound so much better ♪
♪ Here is what we'll do ♪
♪ Come on, let's count to two ♪
♪ One, two of Burt's sweaters ♪
♪ One, two heads are together ♪
♪ Come on, let's count to two ♪
- Oh, wonderful.
♪ One, two ♪
♪ Tip taps of your shoe ♪
♪ One, two apples ♪ ♪ This one's for you ♪
♪ When I'm counting with you ♪
♪ I'm happier than ever ♪
♪ Numbers sound so much better ♪
♪ Now let's count me and you ♪
♪ One, two ♪
The number two!
Ha ha ha!
