1. Sad Sock One
Enclosed as you see is your sock,
With toes that beat a knock, knock;
Left alone in the wash, abandoned by gosh!
Sad toe sock that beats, a knock, knock.

2. Sad Toe Sock Two
Another sad toe sock you see,
popped up in the wash to me;
She misses her mate, oh my, such a state,
Enclosed sad toe cock to thee.

3. Happy Toe Socks
Two toe socks together again,
So happy to be with their friend;
To heck with the past, together at last,
Happy toe socks together again.

4. Sock, Socks
One sock, two socks, three socks, four socks,
How many socks did you leave on the coast?
Five socks, six socks, seven socks and more socks,
Will these show up when you need them the most?

Tell me what do you wear on your feet,
When your sock drawer is so incomplete?
Sock, socks, sock, socks, sock, socks and more socks,
How many socks did you leave on the coast?
