I went out for a walk one day

The animals I met had something to say

Let me tell the story all of the way if I may

It’s all about numbers

First I met a bird he was having some fun he said

Count my very fine beak - just one

I knew then we had just begun with that one

I met a deer and she gave me a clue she said

Count my beautiful ears one - two

It’s such an obvious thing to do but I knew

I’d been Workin’ my numbers

Chorus

I met a crow he was talking to me and said

“Count my toes on one foot - three”

He said it like he didn’t think I could see but I agree

I’ve been Workin’ my …

I met a bear near the grocery store who said

“Count my paws you’ll land on four”

He was a little bit too big to ignore anymore

Working my numbers

Then I met a bee she was really alive she said“Count my stripes and you’ll get five

And I would rather that bear did not arrive at my hive

So keep workin’ your numbers OVER THERE!”

Chorus

I meet a moose getting into the mix he said

“Those five birds plus one make six”

At first I thought he might be up to some tricks but

He was just Workin’ his numbers

I met an ant who said his name was Kevin

“Count my legs add one, get seven”

I didn’t tell him four more was eleven

I just smiled and waved, “Thanks, Kevin”

Chorus

Then a spider who was smart as can be she said,

“Not many have 8 legs like me!”

She was right, so I did not disagree, not me

Just Workin’ our numbers

II found this octopus who was taking her time she said,

“All my legs plus one make 9”

Her arithmetic squared with mine just fine

I met a goose whose name was Ben he said,

“Everybody knows that after nine comes ten!”

He was correct but then he said it again and again

Just kept Workin’ my numbers

Chorus

I’m wiped from walking all over town

My brain’s a little tired and it wants to shut down

But I keep kicking my numbers around, I have found

Workin’ my numbers
