Lyrics[]
Chip:
Oh, if you feel downhearted
You must remember this
Things never are as bad
As they could be
When friends have all departed
There's one you'll never miss
I'll be right with you
You can count on me
All:
You can count on me
You can count on me
Chip:
As the adding machine once said
You can count on me
Hildy:
If you committed murder
And got caught like a dope
And had to hang until
Your life was done
I'd holler go no further
Boy's fetch another rope
I'm hanging with you
I'll stick to you, son
All:
I'll stick to you, son
(I'll always's be beside you)
I'll stick to you, son
(We'll go through life together)
Hildy
As the fly paper told the fly
I'll stick to you, son
Claire:
Oh, if you miss your mother
On land or sea of foam
Oh, think of how a toy
Once clung to her knee
Although there is no other
On land or sea or foam
When you're in town kid
You can cling to me
All:
You can cling to me
You can cling to me
Claire:
As the cling film told the pie
You can cling to me
Ozzie:
When through a lot of foolery
You lost your last red cent
I wouldn't even stop to ask you why
(Ask him why)
I'd pawn my mother's jewellery
I'd steal my sister's rent
It's all for you kid
You can milk me dry
All:
You can milk me dry
You can milk me dry
Ozzie:
As the cow to the farmer said
You can milk me dry
Lucy:
If upon this island
We two were cast astray
We both would be in paradise indeed
If rescue came you only shout at them
"GO AWAY!"
Because you find that I am all you need
All:
I am all you need
I am all you need
Lucy:
As the dough told the pastry pin
I am all you knead
All:
You can count on me
You can count on me
As the adding machine once said
You can count on me
Lucy:
2-4-6-8 who do we appreciate?
All:
You can count on me
