Lyrics

I've got five, I've got five
Sakes alive, I've got five
I've got five fingers on my left
Yes indeed I've got five fingers on my right
Yes I'm gonna count first and second and third
And fourth and fifth
With you tonight

Raise up your left hand
Ladies and gentlemen, raise up your left hand

Here we go with your first finger, your index finger
You point to you and to me
You add your second finger, your middle finger
And then you can make a "V"
Add your third finger, your ring finger
For making a "W"
Add your fourth finger, your pinky finger
For eyelashes to see through
And the fifth one to come
Is your thumb
Bang your hand with the band like a drum
Like a drum...

I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
Sakes alive (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)

I've got five (five) fingers on my left
Yes indeed I've got five (five) fingers on my right
Yes I'm gonna count first and second and third
And fourth and fifth
With you tonight

Raise up your right hand
All the boys and girls, raise up your right hand

Here we go with your first finger, your index finger
You point to you and to me
Add your second finger, your middle finger
And then you can make a "V"
Add your third finger, your ring finger
For making a "W"
Add your fourth finger, your pinky finger
For eyelashes to see through
And the fifth one to come
Is your thumb
Bang your hand with the band like a drum
Like a drum...

I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
Sakes alive (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)
Sakes alive (first second third fourth fifth)
I've got five (first second third fourth fifth)...
