When you see a gentleman bee
Round a little bee buzzing
Just count to ten then count again
There's sure to be an even dozen

[CHORUS]
Ah, multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same

Now there was two b___erflies
Casting their eyes
Both in the same direction

You'd never guess
That one little yes
Could start a b___erfly collection

[repeat CHORUS]

A let me tell you now
I'll say one and one is five
You can call me a silly dope
But you take two minks
Add two winks
Ah, you got one mink coat

When a girl gets coy
In front of a boy
After three or four dances
Ha, you can just bet
Shell play hard to get
To multiply her chances

Ah, multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
You know they play the same

Hear me talking to you
Mother Nature's a clever girl
She relies on habit

You take two hares
With no cares
Pretty soon you got
A room full of rabbits

Parakeets in between tweets
Sometimes get too quiet
Uh oh, but have no fear
Cause soon you'll hear
The parakeets riot, just try it

Ah, multiplication
That's the name of the game
And every generation
You know they play the same

Yeah, it's multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same

They better
