The Numbers Song Lyrics - Roger Miller

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)
