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
