"Just Count to Three" was a song by the Common Men. They played it one night to impress their new friend Nyssa, who claimed to have enjoyed it, despite being used to more classical-type music in Traken. They later played it again in a concert attended by the Fifth Doctor and Rita, when they referred to it as the song that had started their career.

The lyrics to the first verse were:

When the time comes to be true
When the time comes, just be you
Never fear, I'll fly to you
Any time from out the blue
You'll know it's me, just count to three
To one, to two, to three
You'll know it's me, just count to three
To one, to two, to three

(AUDIO: 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men)
