I asked my mom, I asked my dad
Nobody knows, it makes me mad
I'm looking up. I'm looking down.
I'm counting squirrels all over town.
And I won't stop until I'm done.
Until I've counted everyone.
How many squirrels are in the world?
How many squirrels are in the world?
I asked my teacher, asked Mr. G.
Nobody knows, it's up to me.
I see three, in the oak tree.
I see four, by the front door.
Could that be eight, along the gate?
I see thirteen, by the screen.
How many squirrels are in the world?
How many squirrels are in the world?
I'm looking high, I'm looking low
I'll tell you about the squirrel I know
The squirrel I know, her name is Sue
She hops up and down like a kangaroo
She climbs up trees around my house.
She's got some acorns in her cheeks.
She's got so many that she can't speak.
So she just squeaks and runs around.
Those silly squirrels are my great clowns.
How many squirrels are in
I'm counting squirrels everywhere I go
And someday soon I'm gonna know
