It is otherwise known as the Tibetan Memory Trick, popularized by Flo and Eddie of the Turtles and Frank Zappa, among others, and By Danny Kaye, and more specifically, by Jerry Lewis, as the Announcer's test. This was a test for all would be announcers to test meomory and diction. The song version is by the Blue Chips, and is simply called 'One Hen'. It's very catchy and hard to sing properly.
One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four limerick oysters
Five corpulent porpoises
Six pairs of red Avalon tweezers
Seven thousand Macedonians in full battle array
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient, sacred crypts of Egypt
Nine hypothetic, apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a marked propensity and profane proclivity toward procrastination and sloth
Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denizens of the deep who haul, stall, crawl coming around the corner of the quid of the quo of the quay of the quivery at the very same time
Eleven Corinthian columns careening cautiously, closely contiguous to the covered catacombs of a catholic convent
Twelve turbulent tom-t*ts, twittering tumultuously in the top of a tall tamarack tree
Thirteen thirsty thespians thriftily thumbing through thirty-thousand theological theses
Fourteen seething seas ceased to see, then thus sufficeth thus
Fifteen heath police who dispelled, dispatched, and dispersed the riotous mob
Sixteen lovely ladies licking luscious licorice lollipops
Seventeen thousand red army ants marching single file through the crack in the stained glass window of Mama Pook's antique shop.
Eighteen pink and purple pet penguins perched on a post in a pond in Paramount Park, Pennsylvania about to push pink and purple perambulators to Prospect Park, Pennsylvania
Nineteen sheet-slitters' daughters slit sheets while the sheet-slitters shut slits in slitters' sheets
Twenty egotistical egotists eagerly awaiting their egotistical ecstasies
Twenty one tumbling tumble weeds tumbling timberly through the timber
Twenty two nimble nymphs nibbling numbly on gnats, knuckles, and narcotics
Twenty three tossing and turning totally tumbling turtles tripping on a roll
Twenty four bubbling, babbling, boiling, blubbery brownies basting in a baking oven
Twenty five neutramatic synthesizing systems owned by the seriously cybernetic marketing division shipped via relativistic space flight through the draconian sector seven
