Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much

In numbers big (one million) to small (one millionth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)

Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much
Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much

In numbers big (ten, one hundred, one thousand)
And numbers small (one tenth, one one-hundredth, one one-thousandth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)

One definition of zero
Is the mathematical value
Between positive and negative values

Zeroes! (Zeroes!)
Zeroes mean so much

In numbers big (one million) to small (one millionth)
And the number that means nothing at all (the number zero)

There's only one everything
Remember these words
There's only one everything
And if you go out and count up everything
It all adds up to one

There's only one everything
The last time I checked
There's only one everything
It kinda makes sense that there would only be
Just one, not ten, not three

If you get all the stuff together
And you have not left something out
Then could there still be anything left over?
I'm pretty sure that means there could not

We share the same omniverse
Please clean your room
We share the same omniverse
And even though you are over here and not there
There's just one everywhere

You got the cars, the trees, the house
There are some clouds, some birds, a monster
And when it's all too much to count up
You can put it in one pile

What if you drew a giant circle
What if it went around all there is
Then would there still be such a thing as an outside
And does that question even make any sense?

There's only one everything
The last time I checked
There's only one everything
It kinda makes sense that there would only be
Just one, not ten, not three
Not twelve

There's only one everything
Remember these words
There's only one everything
And if you go out and count up everything
It all adds up to one
It all adds up
It all adds up
It all adds up to one

If you need a friend, you know what to do
You can count on me,'cause I'm the Number Two
One day at the beach, the next at the zoo
I'm always around, I'm the Number Two

Two arms to hold ya, two legs for walkin'
Two ears on your head, so you can hear when I'm talkin'
Two feet for stompin', two hands for clappin'
Two eyes on your face, so you can see when I'm laughin'

(Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha)

All over the world, you know that it's true
I'm always around, 'cause I'm the Number Two
At home or the park, you know I'll pull through
You can count on me, I'm the Number Two

Two hips for shakin', two lips for kissin'
Too long I've been blue, because it's you that I'm missin'
Two knees for kneelin', two shoulders for shruggin'
Two cheeks to make a little grin while we're huggin'

Ba ba ba ba ba [etc.]

I used to be sad that I am not no one
Until I found out that I am twice as fun

If you need a friend, you know what to do
You can count on me,'cause I'm the Number Two
One day at the beach, the next at the zoo
I'm always around, I'm the Number Two

I am the Number Two, I am the Number Two
I am the Two the Two the Two the Two the Number Two
I am the Two, it's true, the Number Two
[Laughing]

Rabbits have two eyes
And whales have two eyes
And eagles have two eyes
But triops has three eyes

And one to keep an eye

Potatoes have a lot of eyes

Has some amount of eyes
And triops has got

And one that looks around
And one to keep an eye
On the other pair of guys
Triops has three eyes

There are two sides to every story
But triangles have three
And the tricycle has one more cycle than the washing machine

Chickens have two legs
And firemen have two legs
And monkeys have two legs
But tripods have three legs
Tripods have three legs

They've got more than you
'Cuz they need more than two
A tripod has got
One that points back
And one that sticks out
And one to be a friend
To the other pair of legs
Tripods have three legs

Look, there's an eye
Hey, there's another eye
And there's a third eye
'Cuz triops has three eyes
Triops has three eyes

Two eyes on a face
Are usually enough
But triops has got
One that looks up
And one that looks around
And one to keep an eye
On the other pair of guys
Triops has got
One that points back
And one that sticks out
And one to be a friend
To the other pair of guys

I live up in apartment four
I'm on the very next floor
The number's right on the door
If you ever get bored
Come knock on my door
The one with the four

I live up in apartment number four
Where the sound of the drum comes from
Just follow the sound
That's where the four is found

You don't know me but I remember when you
Moved into flat number two
That was the day that I knew
That I was not the only one
Who might like the drum
That was shaking the floor
Of apartment four

Come on up to apartment number four
Where the noise of the drum comes from
Just follow the sound
That's where the four is found

The secret life of six
Means having fun.
When everyone's inside,
He's in the sun.

Six knows how to stand on his head.
Six knows how to stand on his head.
Six knows how to stand on his head.
Six knows how to stand on his head.

And when six pretends he's nine,
He acts older and older.
And when six pretends he's nine,
He wears wiser disguises.

The secret life of nine
Means having fun.
When everyone's inside,
He's in the sun.

Nine knows how to stand on his head.
Nine knows how to stand on his head.
Nine knows how to stand on his head.
Nine knows how to stand on his head.

And when nine pretends he's six,
He acts sunny and funny.
And when nine pretends he's six,
He anounces he bounces

Oh, there's the doorbell
Let's see who's out there
Oh, it's a seven
Hello, seven
Won't you come in, Seven?
Make yourself at home.

Hey, who's that other guy?
Is that your friend there?
"Oh, that's just Seven"
Another seven
Hello, Seven
Won't you come in as well?
Now who would like some cake?
("I would like some cake.")
("Me too!")

What's that at window?
A whole bunch of sevens
They're coming in now
And there's a lot of them
And down the chimney too
("Hey guys, come on in!")
I bet they want some cake
"We want cake! Where's our cake?"

My house is full of sevens
They're filling up the living room
Sliding down the banister
Talking on the telephone
Inviting over more sevens
("It's a green house at the end of the block")
I'm running out of cake.
"We want cake! Where's our cake?"

My house is full of sevens
"We want cake! Where's our cake?"
Lots and lots of sevens
"We want cake! Where's our cake?"
Many more are stopping by
Sevens add and multiply
There's only way to subtract them:
Let them eat up all the cake

Oh no, no, I never go to work.
Oh no, no, I never go to work.
Oh no, no, I never go to work.
Oh no, no, I never go to work.

On Mondays, I never go to work.
On Tuesdays, I stay at home.
On Wednesdays, I never feel inclined.
Work is the last thing on my mind.

On Thursdays, it's a holiday!
And Fridays I detest.
Oh it's much too late on a Saturday,
And Sunday is the day of rest.

Oh yes, yes, practice trumpet everyday.
Oh yes, yes, practice trumpet everyday.
Oh yes, yes, practice trumpet everyday.
Oh yes, yes, practice trumpet everyday.

Practice Monday.
Practice Tuesday.

And I practiced all night on Saturday,
So on Sundays I played best.

And Fridays I detest.
Oh it's much too late on a Saturday,
And Sunday is the day of rest.
It's the day of rest!

Round, can you go around?
And if you can turn around without falling down,
You can skate in a figure eight.
If you can turn, if you can go straight.

Turn left, go straight.
Turn right, straight again.
And then do it over,
Repeat forever.
That's all you need to know,
That's the way you skate
In a figure eight.

If you can grab a circle in your hands
And twist it, that's an eight.

If it weren't for the zamboni,
You would never leave the ice.
And I think I know the reason why
You never take a break,
The sign that means forever
Is a sideways number eight.

Turn left, go straight.
Turn right, straight again.
And then do it over,
Repeat forever.
That's all you need to know,
That's the way you skate
In a figure eight.

And if you twist the number zero,
You will get the number eight.

Turn left, go straight.
Turn right, straight again.
And then do it over,
Repeat forever.
That's all you need to know,
That's the way you skate
In a figure eight.

If you can grab a circle in your hands
And twist it, that's an eight.
(If you can grab a circle in your hands
And twist it, that's an eight.)

Twist the number zero, you will get the number eight

Listen Children, hear this story
That will take you around the world:
In the belly of the vessels
Stowed away nine pirate girls.

Nine Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine.
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

One named Polly had a parrot,
The second named Polly had a parrot, too.
That's the part that is confusing,
And they were identical twins.

The third was Nancy, she was fancy,
Walked around with a fake tattoo.
And four through nine were all named Peggy,
And each one only wore one shoe.

Nine Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine.
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

Legend grew about their daring,
Never did they walk the plank.
They all shared one golden earring,
And the truth is they all stank.

If you finished all your homework,
Brushed your teeth, and done your chores,
And it's not too past your bedtime,
Then your folks might tell you more of the

Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine.
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)
Pirate girls, pirate girls, pirate girls nine.
(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine)

Nine bowls of soup are balanced on the end
Of a rake on an ichthyosaur's head
Woah, woah, woah, woah!
Oh good, none of them spilled

Please can I have one Mr. Ichthyosaur?
No, you can't, I'm saving them for friends
But you don't have any friends
Yes, I do
No, you don't
Yes, I do. Now be quiet
I'm trying to concentrate

Nine bowls of soup on the wings of an airplane
Flown by an ichthyosaur
Woah, woah, woah!
Lucky thing they didn't all spill

Is there one that's kind of extra? Can I have it for my own?
No, you can't. I can't break up the set
But the soup is getting cold
No, it isn't
Yes, it is
No, I don't know what you're talking about

Nine bowls of soup are balanced on a snake
That the ichthyosaur is taking for a walk
Woah, woah, woah, waah!
Phew, I really thought that that was it

I just think that you have more than you can handle
What's all the soup for anyway?
I didn't think you even really liked soup
Why do you need nine bowls?
Why do you need
Why do you need nine?

If I tell you what these are for, then will you stop bothering me?
Nine bowls of soup
Arranged a certain way
Are some RADAR dishes
In a very large array
And the message they detect
From across the Milky Way
Says the aliens want to join us for lunch

I hope you guys like soup

I am a girl. I'm 11 years old
That's one more than 10
And one less than 12 (One dozen)
At noon (12 o'clock)
I was eating a cupcake from a baker's dozen (Of cupcakes)
That's 13 cupcakes
And the postman rang the doorbell to deliver a package
It was a barrel that came from the jungle

One dozen monkeys jumped right out of the monkey barrel
12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel
11 monkeys ran up into the tree
One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me

Mom was upset with the monkeys in the tree
And the monkey on a bike
Which I named Larry
With a dozen bananas she got the monkeys in the barrel
And gave it to the postman to send back to the jungle

But then the monkeys jumped back out of the monkey barrel
12 crazy monkeys ran right out of the monkey barrel
11 monkeys ran back into the tree
One monkey stayed behind and now that monkey rides a bike around with me

His name is Larry

Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip
Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip
Four hundred and seventeen miles to go
Three thousand trees
Fourteen hundred buildings
One spilt cup of orange juice
Nineteen pit stops
One hundred and fifteen pick-up trucks
Eight hundred and thirteen mile car trip

I can count up to five, I can count to ten
Count on my nose a hundred times, I'd rather not again
Twenty is easy and a hundred, no sweat
But there's one number I just can't get

Infinity, infinity
How can I reach infinity?
Well, I count up all day and then one more just to see
But when will I reach infinity?

Well, with tons of patience and even more smarts
I count above a hundred thousand million billion trillion illion
Race to the moon and back again
I'm catching up. You know, I might win

Infinity, infinity
How can I reach infinity?
It's the highest number there could possibly be
But I'm gonna reach infinity

If I chase my tail and follow its tracks
If I run around in circles I'll never make it back
Oh, figure of eight goes around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around, around

Infinity, infinity
Who's gonna beat infinity?
So add it up, I just might win
If you help me figure out just where it ends and it begins
Then I just might catch
And you just might see
That I'm gonna reach infinity

Paper out, pencils raised.
One plus one is two,
Two plus two is four,
Four plus four is eight,
And eight plus eight is sixteen.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

"I don't even know Spanish,
But I'm gonna sing it in Spanish, now!"

Uno mas uno es dos.
Dos mas dos son cuatro.
Cuatro mas cuatro son ocho.
Ocho mas ocho son dieciseis.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

Two kids countin' plus one kid countin'
Equals three kids countin'.
Three kids countin' plus two kids countin'
Equals five kids countin'!

One plus one is two,
Two plus two is four,
Four plus four is eight,
And eight plus eight is sixteen.

I can add, I can add.
I can add, I can add.

"Alright, two plus one is three,
Three plus one is four,
And four plus one is five.
I'm gettin' it!
I'm gettin' good at this!"

Everybody at the party is a many-sided polygon
When a guest arrives, they will count how many sides it has on
Standing by the window over there
There is a shape with four sides so it's a square
And the one who has nine is looking fine
And its name is Nonagon

Everybody turns just in time to see the pentagon arrive
Counting up the sides, it is clear the pentagon has five
Chatting in the kitchen we see
There is a triangle whose sides number three
And is talking to the shape that has nine
Who is known as Nonagon

Nonagon

Nonagon lets in a guest who has shown up late
Its name is Octagon and its sides add up to eight
Turning the music on
Is a six-sided hexagon
And they all get in a line and do
A dance called "The Nonagon"

The Nonagon
The Nonagon

Even numbers, even numbers
Every other number is an even number

2, 4, 6, 8
Who do we appreciate?
10, 12, 14, 16
Skip all the numbers in between

Skip all the numbers that are not even
Leave out the odd ones
Leave out the odd; you're left with the even
Skip all the odd ones

Skip the first number and the second one's even
Skip the third and the next one's even as well
Skip the next, take the next, skip the next
Take, skip, take

You like French fries
But you don't like French fries

Flans: When I was 39 years old, I heard a story. I found out that there [are]
people walking among us who have superpowers. These people are called
Supertasters. To a Supertaster, bitter fruits taste far more bitter, and sweets
far more sweet. Then, just a few months ago, I had the chance to meet a real,
live Supertaster named John Lee.

And this is his true story:

Nothing tastes the same (nothing tastes the same)
To a Supertaster (Supertaster)
When he tastes a pear (tastes a pear)
It's like a hundred pears (it's like a million pears)

He's got superpowers (superpowers)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Every flavor explodes (explodes and explodes)
Explodes and explodes

John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we do
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors are too much

Can't shut his mouth (can't shut his mouth)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Though he looks like a man (talks like a man)
He is a Supertaster (Supertaster)

Can't drink coffee or beer (coffee or beer)
'Cause he's a Supertaster (Supertaster)
Loves ice cream and pie (ice cream and pie)
He is a Supertaster

John Lee Supertaster
Tastes more than we know
Everything has a flavor
Some flavors must go

The day is done
The sun is down
The curtains have been drawn
And darkness has descended over everything in town
The covers have been turned and I've got my pajamas on
I've had my fun
I've stretched and yawned and all is said and done
I'm going to bed
Ben ben ben ben ben

I've done so many things today
There's nothing left to do
I ate three meals, I rode my bike, I hung out with my friends
I did my chores, I watched TV, I practiced the guitar
I brushed my teeth, I read my book, and then I sat around
I'm going to bed
Ben ben ben ben ben

Moo
Moo
Moo
Moo

Oh it's pointless staying up for even twenty seconds more
When everything has happened and there's nothing else in store
The thing is now to lay my head down, close my eyes, and snore
And so to bed directly I go

The day is done
The sun is down
The curtains have been drawn
And darkness has descended over everything in town
The covers have been turned and I've got my pajamas on
I've had my fun
I've stretched and yawned and all is said and done
I'm going to ben
Ben ben ben ben ben

Bed
Ben ben ben ben bed

I'm going to bed
Ben bed ben bed ben bed ben bed ben
