Between you, I count 30 fingers and 6 fists   And you are brothers   I count, I count   When you are sleeping, I smash up the machine   Beethoven is the first to help me      A congress has assembled outside—of children   —It's a half mile wide   Children, Oh Children   Wring out your pillows, come to the window   Stand upright, the rest will follow      I count the children   I represent the congress of children
