[Intro]

Yo, this is Dr. Seuss's 1, 2, 3, and I'm gonna rap this book

[Verse 1]

Yo, 1, 1

It all starts with 1

1 cat on a ball having fun

2, 2, next comes 2

2 orange antlers on Foo-Foo the Snoo

3, 3, count to 3

3 birds sitting in a puffy pink tree

4, 4, can you spot 4?

4 friends walking to a big pink door

5, 5, do you see 5?

5 funny fish are out for a drive

[Verse 2]

6, 6, look up and down, look side to side

Can you count 6 mouths open wide?

7, 7, this man here is Mr. Gump

Mr. Gump has a 7 hump Wump

8, 8, now it's time to count to 8

8 weary elephants and a tree of great weight

9, 9, 9 sad turtles each on another's back

Piled up together in a 9-turtle stack

10, 10, count 10 birds; that's what you should do

Count 10 birds in yellow and blue

[Verse 3]

11, 11, look at his fingers

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Yikes, he has 11

12, 12, can you count 12 Curious Crandalls?

They sleepwalk on hills with assorted-sized candles

Count 13 trapeezers of the Zoom-a-Zoop Troupe

They grab on to each othеr as they zoop and they swoop

14, 14, old Mr. Sneelock on his Roller-Skatе-Skis

Slides past 14 pots full of Stickle-Bush Trees

15, 15, count them, count them, count them all

15 cats sleeping on a ziggy-zaggy wall

[Verse 4]

Can you count 16 of the Brothers Ba-zoo?

They are known far and wide for the way their hair grew

17, 17, and speaking of counting, you should be quite glad-ish

That you're not this farmer's 17th radish

18, 18, count 18 Jogg-oons from far desert dunes

Who like to croon tunes about pebbles and prunes

19, over the water and into the sky

Can you count 19 bloggs blowing by?

20, 20, start at the bottom, work up to the top

Count 20 Fuddnuddlers

[Outro]

And now you can stop
