Four

Words and Music by Jeff Moss
1977 Festival Attractions, Inc. (ASCAP)
sung by Little Jerry (Jerry Nelson)
and The Monotones (Christopher Cerf, Richard Hunt and Jeff Moss)
background singers in brackets
Hit it!
Oh, four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
We're gonna sing about four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Four is the legs on an old easy chair
Four is the corners of a square
(1, 2, 3, 4, Little Jerry, tell us more)

Oh, four
We'll sing some more about four
Four are the legs on a spotted blue cow
Four people singing right now
(Four people singing right now)

Now Jerry's number one, he's a lot of fun.
Chrissy's number two, knows just what to do.
Richard's number three, as happy as can be.
And there's one more, Big Jeffy's number four.

Oh, four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Not 3 or 7, but four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Four are the wheels on a big city bus
Four people singing is us
(Four people singing is us)

Spoken:

Jerry: There are lots of things there are four of.
Chrissy: There are four paws on a dog
Richard: Yeah, and four sides on a rectangle
Jerry: And there's four of us singing -- there's me, Chrissy, Richard ...

(Resume singing)

And there's one more
Big Jeffy's number four

Oh, four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Not 3 or 7, but four
(1, 2, 3, 4)
Four are the wheels on a big city bus
Four people singing is us
(Four people singing is us)

There isn't anymore
(Ooooh, aaaaahh)
This was our song about four ...
(1, 2, 3, 4, Little Jerry tell us more)

Jerry yelling:
There's four seasons in a year.
There are four strings on a bass or a ukelele.
And there's four quarters in a dollar
And four quarters in a football game or a basketball game--
Let's hear it for four! Yay!
