Lyrics

Three is a magic number Yes it is, it's a magic number Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity You get three as a magic number The past and the present and the future Faith and Hope and Charity The heart and the brain and the body Give you three as a magic number It takes three legs to make a tripod Or to make a table stand It takes three wheels to make a vehicle Called a tricycle Every triangle has three corners Every triangle has three sides No more, no less You don't have to guess When it's three, you can see It's a magic number A man and a woman had a little baby Yes, they did They had three in the family And that's a magic number 3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30 3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30 Now the Multiples of 3 Come up three times in each set of 10 In the first 10 you get 3-6-9 And in the teens ten its 12-15 and 18 And in the 20's You getta 21-24-27 And it comes out even on 30 Multiply backwards from 3 x 10: 3 x 10 is 30, 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24, 3 x 7 is 21 3 x 6 is 18, 3 x 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12 And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 x 2 is 6 And 3 x 1 is 3 of course Now dig the pattern once more: 3....3-6-9 12...12-15-18 21...21-24-27...30 Now multiply from 10 backwards: 3 x 10 is 30 (Keep going), 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24 3 x 7 is 21, 3 x 6 is 18, 3 X 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12 And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 X 2 is 6 And 3 x 1 ... What is it?! Three! Yeah. That's a magic number A man and a woman had a little baby Yes, they did They had three in the family That's a magic number
