3 Is The Magic Number

歌詞

Three is a magic number, Yes it is, it's a magic number. Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity You get three as a magic number. The past and the present and the future. Faith and Hope and Charity, The heart and the brain and the body, Give you three as a magic number. It takes three legs to make a tripod Or to make a table stand. It takes three wheels to make a vehicle Called a tricycle. Every triangle has three corners, Every triangle has three sides, No more, no less. You don't have to guess. When it's three, you can see It's a magic number. A man and a woman had a little baby, Yes, they did. They had three in the family, And that's a magic number. 3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30. 3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30. Now the Multiples of 3 Come up three times in each set of 10. In the first 10 you get 3-6-9, And in the teens ten its 12-15 and 18, And in the 20's You getta 21-24-27, And it comes out even on 30. Multiply backwards from 3 x 10: 3 x 10 is 30, 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24, 3 x 7 is 21, 3 x 6 is 18, 3 x 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12, And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 x 2 is 6, And 3 x 1 is 3 of course. Now dig the pattern once more: 3....3-6-9 12...12-15-18 21...21-24-27...30 Now multiply from 10 backwards: 3 x 10 is 30 (Keep going), 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24, 3 x 7 is 21, 3 x 6 is 18, 3 X 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12, And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 X 2 is 6. And 3 x 1 ... What is it?! Three! Yeah. That's a magic number. A man and a woman had a little baby, Yes, they did. They had three in the family, That's a magic number
