Count On Me
sung by Loretta Lynn and The Count (Jerry Nelson)
The Count: Well your nose is one
Your eyes are two
Put them together
That makes three, it's true
With five fingers on each hand
You're a counting wonderland
How I love to count on you
Loretta: I'm one happy girl
You and I make two
I count the hours
'Till I'm here with you
When you count to number three
I'm in heaven, can't you see
Darlin', you can count on me
Count on me
You can always count on me
I'm your number one forever
That's as close as two can be
If you need a friend before you count to three
I'll be there, count on me
The Count: Picture it, Loretta!
Loretta: I can see us now
Just me and you
In a little castle
That was meant for two
The Count: And we'll spend each night and day
Counting bats that fly away
How I love to count on you
Loretta: Well we'll count the stars
That come out at night
The Count: And every wolf call
'Till the morning's light
Loretta: When you take me in your arms
I add up your many charms
The Count: You can always count on me
Both (?): Count on me
You can always count on me
I'm your number one forever
That's as close as two can be
If you need a friend before you count to three
I'll be there, count on me
Count on me
You can always count on me
I'm your number one forever
That's as close as two can be
If you need a friend before you count to three
I'll be there, count on me
The Count: Ah, that's my kind of friend!
