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
By each generation... it's played 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 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 is a clever girl
She reli-es on habit
Ya take two hares, with no cares:
Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits

Two 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
