Count Up To Nine

sung by The Count Von Count (Jerry Nelson)
and His Royal Transylvanians

[Scene: A room in the Count’s castle, with a jukebox in the background.
The Count puts a coin in it, and a chorus coming from it starts to sing.]

Chorus: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a-oo doo-wah!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a-oo doo-wah!

Count: Ohhh-ohh, baby, count up to nine for me!
Ohhh-ohh, baby, count up to nine for me!
Ohhh-ohh, baby, count up to nine for me tonight!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!

Ohhh-ohh, baby, make the world fine for me!
Ohhh-ohh, baby, make the sun shine for me!
Ohhh-ohh, baby, count up to nine for me tonight!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9!
I know you can count up to seven

Chorus: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7!

Count: I know you can count up to eight

Chorus: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

Count: But you’ll count up to nine if you love me
