Bob Dorough - Figure Eight lyrics

Figure eight as double four Figure four as half of eight If you skate, you would be great If you could make a figure eight That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself One times eight is two times four Four times four is two times eight If you skate upon thin ice You'd be wise if you thought twice Before you made another single move One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16 Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32 And five times eight is 40, you know Six times eight is 48, seven times eight is 56 Eight times eight is 64, nine times eight is 72 And ten times eight is 80, that's true Eleven times eight is 88, and twelve times eight is 96 Now, here's a chance to get off On your new math tricks 'Cause twelve times eight is the same as Ten times eight plus two times eight 80 plus 16 ... ninety-six! One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16 Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32 And five times eight is 40, you know Figure eight as double four Figure four as half of eight If you skate, you would be great If you could make a figure eight That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself
