Oh baby let's play some hide and go seek 
Seen an alligator go jumpin' in the river 
Singin' a song about five, ten, fifteen, twenty 
Twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, fourty, fourty-five 
Fifty, fifty-five, sixty, sixty-five, seventy, seventy-five 
Eighty, eighty-five, ninety, ninety-five, a hundred 
I ain't gonna count but one more time 
And that's gonna be when the sun goes down 
I say last night and the night before 
Twenty—four hours knock in' on the door 
I ran upstairs to get my gun 
And when I got back the robbers had run 
Didn't go east, didn't go west 
They must have run back to the robbers' nest 
Oh, I'm gonna catch you this time honey 

I ain't gonna count but one more time 
I'm gonna get you sweetie pie 
I'm gonna catch you, yes I'll do 
Please don't let me search for you 
I say last night and the night before 
Twenty-four hours knockin' on the door 
I ran upstairs to get my gun 
And when I got back the robbers had run 
Didn't go east, didn't go west 
They must have run back to the robbers' nest
