“ONE of these days, I’m going to cut you into little pieces!”

“TWO drifters off to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see…”

“Gimme THREE steps, Gimme three steps, Mister, and you’ll never see me no more! For sure!”

“FOUR calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves…”

“But it’s a FIVE o’clock world when the whistle blows, and no one owns a piece of my time.”

“I got my first real SIX string, bought it at the five and dime.”

“There is moonlight and moss in the trees, down the SEVEN Bridges Road.”

“Hold me, love me, I ain’t got nothing but love, girl, EIGHT days a week.”

“I’m gonna take her riding out past the edge of town, out where the wind’s still racing free on the heartland. I’ll be there NINE tonight, NINE tonight, NINE tonight.”

“TEN cents a dance, that’s what they pay me. Gosh, how they weigh me down!”

Y’know my heart keeps tellin’ me:  
“You’re not a kid at 33;  
Play around, you’ll lose your wife,  
Play too long, you’ll lose your life.”  
Some gotta win, some gotta lose;  
Good time Charlie’s got the blues.
