Lyrics
You can count the number of fingers on a hand.

You can count the number of players in a band.

You can even count how many times a day you eat.

You can count how often, it's sweet but,

Some things are harder to count.

Because they come in such an awfully large amount.

Like feathers in a mattress or hairs on a head.

maybe you could count them but perhaps instead, (You ought to )

(Chorus)

Estimate, approximate,

Take a wild guess

Tell me more or less

Estimate, approximate,

Take a wild guess

Tell me more or less

Estimate, approximate.

You can count the number of cookies in a batch.

You can count the rounds in a jousting match.

You can count the number of actors in a play.

You can count the tables in a cafe, but

Some things are harder to count.

Because they come in such an awfully large amount.

Like the number of words you speak in a day,

you wouldn't wanna count a thing like that no way. (You ought to )

(Chorus)

Estimate, approximate,

Take a wild guess

Tell me more or less

Estimate, approximate,

Take a wild guess

Tell me more or less

Estimate, approximate.
