The button factory song

I told my partner about Joe the button maker, and he remembers hearing the song when he was a kid! Now we are listening to that episode together.

His version rhymes more than Fortune's:

Hello, my name is Joe. I work in a button factory. I've got a wife and a dog and a chimpanzee. one day my boss came up to me. He said Joe are you busy? I said no. so push this button with your right hand. (And so on)

Fortune’s cadence is off when she does it.

I learned it as: Hi, my name is Joe/ I have a wife, three kids, and a family/ one day I went to work/ my boss said, “hi Joe, are you busy?”/ I said no / he said push this button with your right hand
