This song is available Jim Rule's Like A Star
Gather round, you gals and guys.
Here's a little word to the wise.
When you get angry
When you get mad
Before you do or say something
You’ll wish you never had
and make us sad
Learn this song. It’s good for you
And me and Mom and Dad.
Don’t do something bad!
Just count to ten!
Count to ten!
Count to ten!
When you want to scream and shout
Break and throw your things about
Then without a doubt Gotta count to ten!
Count to ten! (Say it again!)
Count to ten! Remember
When you start to lose your cool
Remember you're nobody’s fool.
Think the Golden Rule!
Gotta count to ten.
When you want to blow your top
And you can’t stop squirmin’,
Count to ten in German.
1 eins 2 zwei…
Very good - sehr gut
Many thanks - vielen Dank
When you want to shout
about a monkey wrench
Count to ten in French
1 un 2 deux…
Very good - tres bien
Thanks a lot -- merci beaucoups
When you’re not a happy camper,
and I mean Really!
Count to ten in Swahili
1 Moja 2 Mbili…
Good/Fine - Nzuri
Thank you (very much) - Asante (sana)
When you want to have a fit
and stomp like a stallion
Count to ten in Italian
1 uno 2 due…
molto bene - very good
mille grazie - a thousand thanks
When your mood is darker
than the coffee we brew
Count to ten in Hebrew.
1 echahd 2 shtayim…
tov m'od - very good
todah rahbah - thanks a lot
When you’re burning up. Don’t be a flash in the pan.
Count to ten the way they do in Japan
1 ichi 2 ni…
Yoku dekimashta - You all did well.
Doumo arigatou - Thank you very much.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10!
If it didn't do the trick yet try it again!
Count to ten!
Count to ten!
Don’t you worry. Don’t you fret….
So, no matter where or when
Girls to women, boys to men…
