*** MULTIPLICATION ROCK *** (1973)
Little Twelvetoes
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
- Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd also have
- 12 toes or so the theory goes. Well, with twelve digits, I mean
- fingers, he probably would have invented two more digits when he
- invented his number system. Then, if he saved the zero for the end,
- he could count and multiply by twelve just as easily as you and I do
- by ten.
- Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, he'd probably
- count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, dek, el,
- doh. "Dek" and "el" being two entirely new signs meaning ten and
- eleven. Single digits! And his twelve, "doh", would be written 1-0.
- Get it? That'd be swell, for multiplying by 12.
- Hey little twelvetoes, I hope you're well.
- Must be some far-flung planet where you dwell.
- If we were together, you could be my cousin,
- Down here we call it a dozen.
- Hey little twelvetoes, please come back home.
- Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, his children
- would have 'em too. And when they played hide-and-go-seek they'd
- count by sixes fast. And when they studied piano, they'd do their
- six-finger exercises. And when they went to school, they'd learn the
- golden rule, and how to multiply by twelve easy: just put down a
- zero. But me, I have to learn it the hard way.
- Lemme see now:
- One times 12 is twelve, two times 12 is 24.
- Three times 12 is 36, four times 12 is 48, five times 12 is 60.
- Six times 12 is 72, seven times 12 is 84.
- Eight times 12 is 96, nine times 12 is 108, ten times 12 is 120.
- Eleven times 12 is 132, and 12 times 12 is 144. WOW!
- Hey little twelvetoes, I hope you're thriving.
- Some of us ten-toed folks are still surviving.
- If you help me with my twelves, I'll help you with your tens.
- And we could all be friends.
- Little twelvetoes, please come back home.
- 12 toes or so the theory goes. Well, with twelve digits, I mean
