ROGER MILLER
"The Numbers Song"

Roger Miller: Now the first thing I need is some random number lets say um... between 20 and 22.
Somebody in crowd: 21!!!
Roger 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

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

Roger 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.
Sombody in crod: 13!!!!
Roger 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

You got 2 again
You got 2 again
You used to love me once but now you got 2 again
8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 happy people divided by 1 leaves nuthing, nuthing, none

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