"Multiplication" lyrics

Multiplication

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

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

Now, there was two butterflies
Casting their eyes
Both in the same direction
You'd never guess
That one little yes
Could start a butterfly collection

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

Let me tell you now
I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat
But, you take two minks
Add two winks
Ahhh, you 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

A 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
A parakeet's riot just try it

A 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'd better
