Bobby Darin Multiplication Lyrics

Multiplication Lyrics

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 

      Ah, … 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 multiple 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 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. 



      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.
