Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you see a gentleman bee
Round a lady bee buzzin'
Just count to ten then count again
There's sure to be an even dozen
[Verse 2]
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
[Verse 3]
Now, there was two butterflies castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction
You'd never guess that one little yes
Could start a butterfly collection
[Verse 4]
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
[Verse 5]
Let me tell ya now, I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat
But, ya take two minks add two winks
Ahh, ya got one mink coat
[Verse 6]
When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
After three or four dances
Ah, you can just bet she'll play hard to get
To multiply her chances
[Verse 7]
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
You know they play the same
[Verse 8]
Hear me talkin' to ya, Mother Nature's a clever girl
She relies on habit
Ya take two hares with no cares
Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits
[Verse 9]
Parakeets in-between tweets
Sometimes get too quiet
Uh-oh, but, have no fear 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeet's riot just try it
[Verse 10]
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And every generation
You know they play the same
[Verse 11]
Yeah, it's multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
[Verse 12]
They'd better
