Count Back Cat - Count Back From 20

I once had a cat named count back cat,

who never counted up and that’s a fact…

I said, “Count up, Count Back Cat.”

She said, “I’ll never ever, never ever do that!”

Then she counted back from 20 like this:

20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Counting back from 20 is so much fun!

20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Counting back from 20 is so much fun!

Why won’t you count up, Count Back Cat?
She said I really have a very good reason for that…

I said count up, Count Back Cat,

She said I’ll never ever, never ever do that!

Then she counted back from 20 like this:

20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Counting back from 20 is so much fun!

Counting back from 20 is so much fun!

She told me the reason why she always counted back,

She said, it’s very simple, it’s a very simple fact!

She said that she’s counting the days left to wait,

Until her birthday comes around, it‘ll be so great!

A giant batch of cupcakes, Mom’s gonna’ make,

She said she’s making 20, that’s the number that she’ll bake…

Then she counted 20 cupcakes like this:

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12-13-14-15-16-17-18-19-20

Then when they get eaten, she’ll count back from 20 like this:

20-19-18-17-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

Counting back from 20 is so much fun!
