Album: Splish Splash: The Best of Bobby Darin, Volume One
When you see a gentleman bee
round a lady bee buzzin'
Just count to ten, then count again
there's sure to be an even dozen
Multiplication "¦ that's the name of the game
And each generation "¦ they play the same
Now, there was two butterflies castin' their eyes
both in the same direction
You'd never guess that one little yes
could start a butterfly collection
Multiplication "¦ that's the name of the game
And each generation "¦ they play the same
Let me tell ya now "¦
I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat
But, ya take two minks add two winks
Ah, "¦ ya got one mink coat
When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
after three or four dances
Ah, "¦ you can just bet she'll play hard to get
to multiple her chances
Multiplication "¦ that's the name of the game
And each generation "¦ you know they play the same
Hear me talkin' to ya "¦
Mother Nature's a clever girl
She relies on habit
Ya take two hares with no cares
Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits
Parakeets in-between tweets
Sometimes get too quiet
Uh-oh, "¦ but, have no fear "?cause soon you'll hear
A parakeet's riot "¦ just try it
Multiplication "¦ that's the name of the game
And every generation "¦ you know they play the same
Yes, "¦ it's multiplication "¦ that's the name of the game
And each generation "¦ they play the same
