There's one for the sorrow
And two for the joy
And three for the girls
And four for the boys

There's five for the silver
And six for the gold
And seven for the secrets
That are never to be told

There's eight in the river
And nine in my head
And ten of the worst kind
Sleeping in my bed

There's a pattern, there's a pattern
There's a pattern there to followed
There's a pattern, there's a pattern
There's a pattern there to followed

Oh, oh, oh, to follow
Oh, oh, oh, to follow

There's one for the money
And two for the sin
And three for the tongue
When authority kicks in

There's four for the reason
And five for the tricks
But nothing's going to save you
From the six, six, six

There's seven for the days
And seven for the nights
And seven for the heavens
And the tunnel and the lights

There's a pattern, there's a pattern
There's a pattern there to followed
There's a pattern, there's a pattern
There's a pattern there to followed

Oh, oh, oh, to follow
Oh, oh, oh, to follow
(To follow, to follow, to follow)

Oh, oh, oh, to follow
Oh, oh, oh, to follow
