Multiplication
Bobby Darin


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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same

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

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same

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
Ahhh
Ya got one mink coat
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

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
You know they play the same
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
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

Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And every generation
You know they play the same
Yes
It's multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
They better
