Yummy Yummy (album)[]
"This is a song about all the people all we have on our hands. It's a song about our friend Thumbkin. Can you show us your Thumbkin? That's the way. Now it's also about Pointer. Can you show us Pointer? That's right. And it's about Tall One the tallest finger of them all, the one in the middle. And it's about Ringo who can't stand up very well sometime so you might have to help Ringo stand up just like that. And it's about little baby Pinky. And to all the friends that we have on our hands. We say "How are you today, friend? Very well, I thank you" So let's put our hands behind our back and we'll be ready to sing a song."
Where is Thumbkin, where is Thumbkin?
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, friend?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away
"Well the next one to come out is our friend Pointer"
Where is Pointer, where is Pointer?
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, friend?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away
"And now it's Tall One's turn to come out. That's the tallest finger of them all."
Where is Tall One, where is Tall One?
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, friend?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away
"And now it's Ringo's turn to come out. And if you're Ringo has a bit of trouble standing up like mine does. you might have to help Ringo stand up just like that."
Where is Ringo, where is Ringo?
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, friend?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away
"And this last one everyone is baby Pinky. Now baby Pinky's sound asleep having a rest so we're going have to sing this one very quietly so we don't wake baby Pinky up. Here we go."
Where is Pinky, where is Pinky
Here I am, here I am
How are you today, friend?
Very well, I thank you
Run away, run away
"Uh oh. Oh no. I think we might have sung that just a little bit too loudly and do you know what? We woke poor baby Pinky up. So now we can sing as loud as you want about the whole family. Here we go."
Where's the whole family, where's the whole family?
Here we are, here we are
How are you today, friends?
Very well, we thank you
Stay and play, stay and play
