 
Counting Song in English for ESL-EFL-ESOL Students
LYRICS:
Music Intro . . . .
Well, we’re gonna learn a song
and it sounds real nifty.
It’ll help you learn to count
all the way to fifty.
I know that it’s not easy
and it doesn’t always rhyme.
I’ll bet you’ll have to sing this song
well, 50 times!
We’ll make it fun . . .
learning to count to fifty.
