F5                                                C5
When you see, a gentleman bee, 'round a lady bee buzzin?..
     F5                   Bb5                   C5
Just count to ten, then, count again..there?s sure to be 
        F5
an even dozen.
F5       C5                              F5
Multiplication..that?s the name of the game.
              C5                    F5
And each generation..they play the same.

F5
Now, there was two butterflies, castin? their eyes,
                   C5
both in the same direction...
F5                       Bb5
You?d never guess, that one little 'yes,'
      C5                     F5
could start a butterfly collection.
F5       C5                              F5
Multiplication..that?s the name of the game.
              C5                    F5
And each generation..they play the same.

CHORUS:
F5      F5            Bb5
Let me tell you now..I say one and one is five,
        D5             F5
you can call me a silly goat.
         G5
But, you take two minks, add two winks,
C5
ahhh..you got one mink coat.

#3.
F5
When a girl gets coy, in front of a boy,
                    C5
after three or four dances...
    F5                        Bb5
ah..you can just bet, she?ll play hard to get,
   C5            F5
to multiply her chances.
F5       C5                              F5
Multiplication..that?s the name of the game.
              C5                    F5
And each generation..they play the same.

CHORUS:#2.
F5       F5              Bb5
Hear me talkin? to you..Mother Nature is a clever girl,
     D5      F5       G5 
She relies on habit...take two hares, with no cares..
C5
pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits.

F5                                                   C5
Two parakeets, in between tweets, sometimes get too quiet..
    F5             Bb5
But have no fear, cause soon you?ll hear,
  C5                      F5
A parakeet's riot...just try it.
F5       C5                              F5
Multiplication..that?s the name of the game.
              C5                    F5
And each generation..they play the same.

OUTRO:
F5                 C5                              F5
Yes..it's multiplication..that?s the name of the game.
              C5                    F5
And each generation..they play the same.
