Lyrics Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin

Multiplication

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 â?¦ you can just bet she'll play hard to get

To multiply 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.
