Jessica, Jessica,
let's take the time
for a brief trip,
and see what might rhyme.
Now, Jessica, please tell me:
what makes you laugh?
Oh, certainly, a monkey
climbing up a giraffe.

Jessica Smith,
tell me what can jump.
A big, green bullfrog
over a hump.

Jessica, Jessica,
tell me what can fly.
A bluebird soaring
high in the sky.

Jessica, Jessica,
now let's have some fun,
looking at numbers,
beginning with ONE!
So, Jessica Smith,
what do you see?
I see ONE elephant
looking at me.

Jessica, Jessica,
what do you see?
I see TWO brown bears
juggling for me.

Jessica Smith, now
what do you see?
I see THREE lions
roaring at me.

Jessica, Jessica,
what do you see?
I see FOUR monkeys
in a big tree.

Jessica Smith, now
what do you see?
I see FIVE dogs barking
at that same tree.

Jessica, Jessica,
what do you see?
I see SIX ducks
swimming toward me.

Jessica Smith, tell me:
what do you see?
I see SEVEN bunnies
hopping for me.

Jessica, Jessica,
what do you see?
I see EIGHT cats
staring at me.

Jessica Smith,
where did those cats run?
Chasing NINE mice
back to where they came from.

Jessica, Jessica,
what do you see?
I see TEN boys and girls
looking at me.

Jessica Smith, yes
their number is TEN.
They want to know:
will you and Kelley be their friends?

Jessica, Jessica, they ask:
"Where's your hometown?"
Atlanta, Georgia,
that's where I am found.

Jessica Smith,
wherever you go,
Mom wants you to know...

Whether counting or rhyming,
one thing is true:
Mom, dear Jessica, will always love you.

The End
