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 inbetween tweets
sometimes get too quiet
uhoh
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’d better
