The Inch-worm

Inch worm, inch worm

Measuring the marigolds

You and your arithmetic

You'll probably go far

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

That’s all you have on your business-like mind

Two and two are four

Four and four are eight

How can you be so blind?

You and your arithmetic

(Eight and eight are sixteen)

You’ll probably go far

(Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two)

Inch worm, inch worm

(Two and two are four)

Seems to me, you’d stop and see

(Eight and eight are sixteen)

How beautiful they are

(Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two)
