Count Yeah I count in fives. I do it every time. And If another number confronts me I will cut you in half. Irrespective of the subject I will make it apply, No matter what the object I will count in fives, Just tell me the location I will stand outside... Oh yeah, If you give me too many I will multiply. Force too many into my hand and I will not comprehend. Oh yeah, Another number confronts me And I force it to divide. The first time with someone holding my hand. The second, me holding it out. Tally tally. Oh yeah, If you try to deceive me I fell it burn in my hand. Now watch the numbers run to me as I count them in fives.
