Three is a magic number
Ya it is, it’s a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
You’ll get three
As a magic number
The past, the present, the future,
Faith, and hope, and charity,
The heart, the brain, the body,
Will give you three,
It’s a magic number
It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand,
And 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
That it’s three
Can’t you see?
It’s a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby
Yeah they did
And there were three in the family
And that’s a magic number
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18,
21, 24, 27,
30
Now multiply backwards from 3×10
3×10 is 30
3×9 is 27
3×8 is 24
3×7 is 21
3×6 is 18
3×5 is 15
3×4 is 12
And 3×3 is 9
And 3×2 is 6
And 3×1 is 3 of course
(now dig the pattern once more!)
3, 6, 9,
12, 15, 18
Oh yeah
3×10 is 30
3×9 is 27
3×8 is 24
3×7 is 21
3×6 is 18
3×5 is 15
3×4 is 12
And 3×3 is 9
And 3×2 is 6
And 3×1
What is it?
3
A man and a woman had a little baby
There were three in the family
And that’s a magic number
