Inchworm.

To try to make myself feel better (see last post!) I've just been watching one of my favourite programs, The Muppet Show, and I came across this gem. It has to be one of my most beloved pieces from the show.


Inchworm

(Chorus)
Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two

Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigold
You and your arithmatic
You'll probably go far

Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigold
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are



The lyrics don't do it justice though. Such a simple song and yet it gives me shivers every time I hear it:

Here, watch the Muppet Danny Kay version in all it's glory:
