lyrics
I've got a collection of
All the neatest stuff
I've got a collection of
All the neatest stuff
One just wasn't enough
One just wasn't enough, no!
If you want to build a little house
I got so many kinds of blocks
If you want to keep your feet warm
I've got 300 pairs of socks
What time is it?
Oh I always know 'cause I've got 12 different clocks
And I've even got 100 keys
That fit 100 locks
I've got 17 rocks
36 fishes
3 birthday cakes
Yeah i collect wishes
1 shaggy dog
2 indoor cats
And uh, let me show you my baseball caps
(Chorus)
Do You Like to read? I've got so many books
You can color in some or learn how to cook
Open one up and give it a look
See you learned something good
And that's all that it took....
I've got 8 sunglasses
And I got 4 kites
When I ride to the park I ride 1 of 2 bikes
5 mirrors
For 5 reflections
And watch where you step that's my cactus collection...
(Chorus)
My mom's got a room full of fine antiques
I once tried to collect all the days in the week
My recorder collects all the words that I speak
Everything I collect is just so unique
Only 1 piano
But 88 keys
Even my sandwich has 3 kinds of cheese
My garbage can collects my debris
And at school I collect only A's and B's
(Chorus)
All the neatest stuff
I've got a collection of
All the neatest stuff
One just wasn't enough
One just wasn't enough, no!
If you want to build a little house
I got so many kinds of blocks
If you want to keep your feet warm
I've got 300 pairs of socks
What time is it?
Oh I always know 'cause I've got 12 different clocks
And I've even got 100 keys
That fit 100 locks
I've got 17 rocks
36 fishes
3 birthday cakes
Yeah i collect wishes
1 shaggy dog
2 indoor cats
And uh, let me show you my baseball caps
(Chorus)
Do You Like to read? I've got so many books
You can color in some or learn how to cook
Open one up and give it a look
See you learned something good
And that's all that it took....
I've got 8 sunglasses
And I got 4 kites
When I ride to the park I ride 1 of 2 bikes
5 mirrors
For 5 reflections
And watch where you step that's my cactus collection...
(Chorus)
My mom's got a room full of fine antiques
I once tried to collect all the days in the week
My recorder collects all the words that I speak
Everything I collect is just so unique

My garbage can collects my debris
And at school I collect only A's and B's
