My Hero, Zero You're such a funny little Hero But until you came along, we counted on our fingers and toes! Now you're here to stay, but nobody really knows How wonderful you are, Why, you could never reach a star Without you, Zero, my Hero, how wonderful you are How wonderful you are Ya place a Zero after one, and ya got yourself a ten (see how important that is!) When ya run out of digits, you can start all over again (see how convenient that is!) That's why with only ten digits, including Zero You can count as high as you could ever go Forever, to what's infinity No one ever gets there, but you could try! With ten billion Zero's From the Cavemen to the Heroes Who invented you, They counted on their fingers and toes (And maybe some sticks and stones, rocks and bones, and neighbor's toes!) But nobody really knows How wonderful you are, Why you could never reach a star Without you, Zero, my Hero, how wonderful you are How wonderful you are If ya place a Zero after any number, that number goes by ten (see how easy that is!) If ya place two Zero's after any number, and that number goes by a hundred (see how simple that is!) With church, maybe you place six Zero's after a number, And I guess you're goin' flat on the floor! Etcetera, etcetera, add infinitum, Add astra, forever, And ever, with Zero, My Hero, How wonderful you are!
