Intro

Five round dewdrops shine and gleam.
Lulu counts them with her team.

Verse 1

One, two, three, four, five they say.
Dot counts slowly all the way.
Droopy Daisy needs a drink.
"We can help her," Lulu thinks.

Chorus

Count the drops and share with care.
Little gifts are good to share.
One for you and one for me,
And some for the thirsty daisy.

Verse 2

Petal cups can carry one.
Two small trips, then two are done.
Two more trips bring two drops near.
One last dewdrop sparkles clear.

Chorus

Count the drops and share with care.
Little gifts are good to share.
One for you and one for me,
And some for the thirsty daisy.

Bridge

Both would like the final taste.
Still, they will not let it waste.
Each sips just a tiny bit.
Roots receive the rest of it.

Final Chorus

Count five happy drops once more.
Daisy lifts her face for sure.
Lulu, Dot, and flower too
All feel cared for, fresh with dew.

Outro

Five bright drops beneath the sun,
Shared with care for everyone.
