One, two, three, four, five, six pox

Rest your wings

Seven, eight, nine, ten

As I count your green things

Eleven, twelve and thirteen pox

Now close your eyes

As I count fourteen green dots on your thighs



Fifteen and sixteen

Now hang your head low

Seventeen pox, eighteen

On your big toe

Nineteen and twenty

To sleep now you'll fall

And I've counted twenty

Twenty bird-pox in all

Yes, I've counted twenty

Twenty bird-pox in all
