1Now, this is number one,
2And the fun has just begun.
3Roll me over, lay me down,
4And do it again.
Roll me over, in the clover,
Roll me over, lay me down,
And do it again.
5Now, this is number two,
6And he's got me in a stew.
7Roll me over, lay me down,
8And do it again.
9Now, this is number three,
10And his hand is on my knee.
11Roll me over, lay me down,
12And do it again.
13Now, this is number four,
14And he's got me on the floor.
15Roll me over, lay me down,
16And do it again.
17Now, this is number five,
18And his hand is on my thigh.
19Roll me over, lay me down,
20And do it again.
21Now, this is number six,
22And he's got me in a fix.
23Roll me over, lay me down,
24And do it again.
25Now, this is number seven,
26And it's just like being in heaven.
27Roll me over, lay me down,
28And do it again.
29Now, this is number eight,
30And the doctor's at the gate.
31Roll me over, lay me down,
32And do it again.
33Now, this is number nine,
34And the twins are doing fine.
35Roll me over, lay me down,
36And do it again.
37Now, this is number ten,
38And he's started once again.
39Roll me over, lay me down,
40And do it again.
