Benny: (shocked) No! No way, no chance! No how! This is my carrot, and I gotta get downtown, so goodbye! (picks up in his mouth again)

Polly Darton: Oh please? You have one carrot and I have 13 carrots. (Benny puts carrot down) If I add your carrot and my 13, I'll have (slowly counting carrots) 1, 2...

Are as you see
In one big bunch
As as can be

Polly The bunch has 13 carrots
But it only a shove

(Benny getting into the beat)

To add another
And get 14 love!

It's than some flowers
Or on a ring

(Benny's getting into it)

And it's all of you-ou

Together: 14 love!
