Well, we used to have inches and we used to have pounds
But now there's centimeters and kilos around
We're goin' Metric, We're goin' Metric
And sometimes it's hard for your Mom and Dad
'Cause this is a way that they never had
Goin' Metric, we're goin' Metric
And often it's hard to understand
How those cups and ounces changes into grams
Goin' Metric, we're goin' Metric
But a litre of milk tastes as good as a quart
And if you run a kilometre, you're big in sports
If I had the chance I'd do it all again
'Cause I love to multiply by 10
We're goin' Metric
Milli, milli, millimetre
Centi, centi, centimetre
Deca, deca, decameter
Kilo, kilometre...
I think I'm going...Metric!
