Three is a magic number

Yes it is, it's a magic number

Somewhere in that 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

And 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

Its 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

Three, six, nine

Twelve, fifteen, eighteen

Twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven

Thirty

(Three, six, nine

Twelve, fifteen, eighteen

Twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven

Thirty)

Now the multiplies of three

Come up three times in each set of ten

In the first ten

You get three, six, nine

And in the teens' ten

It's twelve, fifteen and eighteen

And in the twenties you get-a

Twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven

And it comes out even on thirty

(Now multiply backwards from three times ten)

Three times ten is (thirty)

Three times nine is (twenty-seven)

Three times eight is (twenty-four)

Three times seven is (twenty-one)

Three times six is eighteen

Three times five is fifteen

Three times four is twelve

And three times three is nine

And three times two is six

And three times one is three, of course

(Now dig the pattern once more!)

(Three) Three, six, nine (Well)

Twelve, fifteen, eighteen (Twenty-one)

Twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven

Thirty (Yeah)

(Now multiply by ten, backwards)

Three times ten is (thirty)

Three times nine is (twenty-seven)

Three times eight is (twenty-four)

Three times seven is (twenty-one)

Three times six is eighteen

Three times five is fifteen

Three times four is twelve

And three times three is nine

And three times two is six

And three times one

What is it? (Three)

Yeah, thats a magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby

Yes, they did

There had three in the family

That's a magic number
