Three is a magic number
ya it is, it's a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
You'll get three
As a magic number
The past, the present, the future
Faith, and hope, and charity
the heart, the brain, the body
will give you three
it's a magic number

It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand
and it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
And every triangle has three corners
every triangle has three sides
no more, no less
you don't have to guess
that it's three
can't you see?
it's a magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby
yeah they did
and there were three in the family
and that's a magic number

3, 6, 9
12, 15, 18
21, 24, 27
30

Now multiply backwards from 3x10
3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
and 3x3 is 9
and 3x2 is 6
and 3x1 is 3 of course
(Now dig the pattern once more!)

3, 6, 9
12, 15, 18
Oh yeah

3x10 is 30
3x9 is 27
3x8 is 24
3x7 is 21
3x6 is 18
3x5 is 15
3x4 is 12
and 3x3 is 9
and 3x2 is 6
and 3x1
What is it?
