ONES & TWOS, an Original Song from Nursery Rhymes TV! Written and Performed by Kyle Riley ----------------------- Lyrics: I got two eyes So I can see Two Ears So I can hear Two hands so I can clap Two arms to hold you near I got two feet So I can dance Two legs I can run so fast One tummy to eat good things One voice so I can sing All the things that I've got Well they help me out a lot And they make me who I am Between me and you There's a lot of ones and twos And they make us who we are I got one head so I can think One mouth to say some things One nose to smell the rose One heart to love you so I got sweet dreams when I sleep at night Big ideas in the morning light Big plans for me and you Songs to sing and dancing to do All the things that I've got Well they help me out a lot And they make me who I am Between me and you There's a lot of ones and twos And they make us who we are
