Nineteen sixty one
A sunny play ground
Little John Dee finally was in turn

Kept a little while
Before with a smile
He started counting out never knowing why

Instead of me then being the first one
He started counting by someone else
No-one could see he winked at me
He was it and I happened to be free

And now that I face you
I see it happen again

Eeny meeny miny moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny miny moe

Eeny meeny miny moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny miny moe

Would it surprise you, John
When I ask you
Do you think now you would do the same?

You say you would
I think we should
Make up a great deal for lost time

Now seventy nine we should try
Once more again

Eeny meeny miny moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny miny moe

Eeny meeny miny moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny miny moe

Eeny meeny miny moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny miny moe
