Meet Numberblock Eight with The Eight Song

Learn all about the number eight with Numberblock Eight – the amazing Octoblock!

Lyrics to The Eight Song

I'm Eight, but you can call me... Octoblock!

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight!

He can stand! Really tall

He can climb up the wall

He is Octoblock, Octoblock!

Octoblock, climb! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, climb!

He can stand like a pillar, or make himself wider, and crawl like a creepy rectangular spider. He is spider block. Oh, hang on… Octoblock!

Octoblock, crawl! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, crawl!
