Jeff Buckley Three Is A Magic Number Lyrics

Three Is A Magic Number Lyrics

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 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.
ev'ry triangle has three corners; ev'ry 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.

three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
twenty-one
twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.

three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen,
eighteen,
twenty-one twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.

three times
ten is thirty. three times nine is twenty-seven.
three times eight is
twenty-four. three times seven is twenty-one.
three times six is eighteen.
three times five is fifteen.
three times four is twelve, and three times
three is nine,
and three times two is six, and three times one is three, of
course.

three times one: what is it? three!
that'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.
