"I Love to Count" is a song from Richard Scarry's Best Learning Songs Video Ever. It is sung by Freddie Fox. It's in C major.
Freddie sings this counting song from 1 to 10. Then Bananas Gorilla takes the bananas as Freddie counts down from 10 to 1. At the end of the song, just as Freddie is about to exit the stage, he slips on a banana peel that someone (Possibly Bananas Gorilla) threw on the stage and accidentally pulled the curtains causing trouble on the show.
Lyrics[]
(Spoken)
Freddie: My name is Freddie, and I love to count.
I know how to count things in any amount.
I'll sing you a song about how it is done.
From 1 up to 10, and from 10 down to 1.
(Sung)
I love to count, I love to count.
It's as simple as 1, 2, 3.
I love to count, I love to count.
We'll have fun if you count with me.
1 ball bouncing down the hill.
1.
2 birds catch it in their bills.
2.
3 small planes fly in the sky.
3.
4 white clouds go drifting by.
4.
5 chimneys up on top.
5.
6 bubbles each goes pop.
6.
7 tubas play a song.
7.
8 drummers drum along.
8.
9 ball players running by.
9.
10 bananas hang up high.
10.
(Spoken)
Bananas Gorilla: Mmm. Bananas.
Freddie: Uh-oh. 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
(Sung)
I love to count, I love to count.
It's as simple as 3, 2, 1.
I love to count, I love to count.
And now my counting song is done!
