blossom dearie - figure eight lyrics

figure eight as double four,
figure four as half of eight.
if you skate, you would be great
if you could make a figure 8.
that’s a circle that turns ’round upon itself.
1 x 8 is 2 x 4.
4 x 4 is 2 x 8.
if you skate upon thin ice,
you’d be wise if you thought twice
before you made another single move.
1 x 8 is 8, 2 x 8 is l6,
3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32,
and 5 x 8 is 40, you know.
6 x 8 is 48, 7 x 8 is 56,
8 x 8 is 64, 9 x 8 is 72,
10 x 8 is 80, that’s true.
11 x 8 is 88, and 12 x 8 is 96.
now, here’s a chance to get off
on your new math tricks.
’cause 12 x 8 is the same as
10 x 8 plus 2 x 8
80 plus 16 … 96
1 x 8 is 8, 2 x 8 is 16
3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32
and 5 x 8 is 40, you know.
figure eight as double four,
figure four as half of eight.
if you skate, you would be great,
if you could make a figure 8.
that’s a circle that turns ’round upon itself.
place it on its side and it’s a symbol meaning infinity …
