Ten Toes – Time To Learn Number 10 Lyrics
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Numbers 1 to 10 Gus would love to teach,
while he’s having fun playing at the beach.
Before we start counting over again,
it’s time to learn our number ten.
Gus are your ten toes holding on tight,
to your surfboard with all their might?
Yahoo, riding the waves is so much fun.
It’s cool to hang ten, in the bright warm sun, oh yeah!
So your toes better hold on tight with all their might.
It’s cool to hang ten, in the bright warm sun, oh yeah!
So your toes better hold on tight with all their might.
So your toes better hold on tight with all their might.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
We now know our numbers from 1 to 10.
It’s no problem to count again and again!
Can you believe it? We’ve come to the end.
I loved learning numbers with you my friend!
