Three Is A Magic Number

Three is a magic number

Yeah 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

Three, six, nine

Twelve, fifteen, eighteen

Twenty-one, twenty-four, twenty-seven

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 eighteen

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, six, nine

Twelve, fifteen, eighteen

Oh yeah

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 eighteen

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

A man and a woman had a little baby

There were three in the family

And that's a magic number
