The Numbers Song

Rodger Miller: Now the first thing I need is some random

number lets say um...



between 20 and 22.



Somebody in crowd: 21!!!



Rodger Miller: ok lets try 21 good number.



well take 21 subtract 9



12 litle childeren standing in line



from the take 2 and that leaves you 10



take away 8 and you got 2 again



(Refrain)



You got 2 again



You got 2 again



you used to love me once but now you got 2 again



(repeat 1x)



Rodger Miller: see now that wasnt so hard,

let try it again only this time lets



try a number between, say, 12 and ummm oh how about 14.



Simbody in crod: 13!!!!



Rodger Miller: ok 13, mmmmmmmmmmm, 13 (Miller pretends to be making up the



words for a verse just humming and stuff, playing around with the adiance)



13 you multiply by 1



you still got 13 but wasnt that fun



you take the same 13 you multiply by 2



26 hours the trains over due



(Refrain)



8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3,



2 happy people divided by 1



leaves nuthing, nuthing,



none



(refrain)
