Lyrics:

Nineteen sixty one, a sunny playground
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 hit 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 Meeny Miny Moe

Would it surprise you John when I ask you
Do you think now you would do the same
You said you would I think we should
Make up a great deal for lost time
Now seventeen nine we should try...once more again

Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
Catch a monkey by the toe
If he hollers let him go
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe
