Lyrics
Count: Be the Count.

Be the Count.

'Cause the world

Loves to count.

Count your toes.

Ernie: Count your duck.

Count: Count the times the chicken goes cluck.

Why not count the cherries baked inside of a pie?

Or count the funny aeroplanes flying high in the sky?

There's nothing you can't count if you don't give it a try.

Be the Count, be the Count, be the Count.

Ernie: Be the Count.

Be the Count.

'Cause the world

Loves to count.

Count the sun.

Count: Count that pig!

As it goes by dancing a jig.

Ernie: Now you can count the items on the shelves in the store.

Or, if someone is knocking, count the knocks on the door.

Count: You can count up everything and want to count more.

Both: Be the Count, be the Count, be the Count.

Count: Be....the....

Both: Count!

Be the Count!!

Count: Cause the world

Ernie: The world!

Count: Loves to count!

Ernie: Loves to count!

Both: Count the folk

that you meet.

As you walk, that said, on the street.

Count: Be the Count!

Both: Be the Count!

Be the Count!
