Lyrics
Got a ticket in my pocket Pink and crumpled, number seven Fair day sun is shining on me Drum is rolling, here it comes Man on the stage with a big brass bell Calls the number, who can tell Hold my breath and cross my toes Is it me, now, who knows Number seven, number seven I won a jar of honey Number seven, number seven Hey! Hey! I won a jar of honey Dance it round, dance it round Little win and big sound Walk up proudly, take the prize Big old grin and sparkling eyes Share it out with all my friends Sweet day, sweet day never ends Number seven, number seven I won a jar of honey Number seven, number seven Hey! Hey! I won a jar of honey Dance it round, dance it round Little win and big sound Small win, small win Feels so big Clap your hands and Do the jig Number seven, number seven I won a jar of honey Number seven, number seven Hey! Hey! I won a jar of honey Dance it round, dance it round Little win and big sound Number seven, number seven Honey sweet, honey sweet
