schoolhouse rock - ready or not, here i come lyrics

now, everybody try to find a good hiding place
this old tree is gonna be the base
i’m gonna close my eyes and hide my face
and count to 100 by fives
ready? go

5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, 40
45, 50, 55, 60
65, 70, 75, 80
85, 90, 95
100, ready or not, here i come

apple, peaches, pumpkin pie
who’s not ready? holler i (i!)
aw, alright, i’ll count it again
but you better get dead, kid
here we go

5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, 40
45, 50, 55, 60
65, 70, 75, 80
85, 90, 95, 100
105, 110, 115, 120
there
bushel of wheat and a bushel of rye
who’s not here? holler i!
twenty nickels makes a dollar
i can’t hear anybody holler
five times twenty is one hundred
everybody got to be hid
all eyes open, here i come
woo!

multiplying by five is a little like counting by fives. in fact, if you count it along on your fingers as you count it out loud by fives, your fingers will tell you how many fives you’ve got. okay, let’s count together now. count on your fingers, one finger for each, count out loud. get set, ready, go

5, 10, 15, 20, stop!
twenty. you got four fingers, see? that means four times five is twenty. let’s try another one. get set, ready, go
5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, stop
35? seven fingers? that’s right. seven times five is 35

okay, let’s try a longer one. now when you run out of fingers at fifty, you see because ten times five is fifty, then start over with the same fingers, and remember that you owe ten
get set, ready, go

5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, 40
45, 50, 55, 60, stop!
ten and two, right? that’s twelve fingers, and twelve times five is sixty. see how it works?
now you may notice that if you multiply five by an even number, your product will end in zero, and if you multiply five by an odd number, your product will end in five!
okay now, let’s do one more game of counting by fives on our fingers. this is a long one, keep going. get set, ready, go

5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, 40
45, 50, 55, 60
65, 70, 75, 80
85, stop!
85, 17 fingers. look at that boy with 17 fingers stickin’ up. how do you do that, kid? anyway, five times 17 is 85. and see, that’s three fives short of a hundred. if you had three more nickels, 15 cents, then add it to 15 to the 85, you’d get a hundred, right?

’cause five times twenty is one hundred
everybody got to be hidden
5, 10, 15, 20
25, 30, 35, 40
45, 50, 55, 60
65, 70, 75, 80
85, 90, 95, 100, ready or not
here i come
