*** MULTIPLICATION ROCK *** (1973)
The Good Eleven
Music & Lyrics: Bob Dorough
Sung by: Bob Dorough
- Key to symbols within the lyrics
- Good, good, good, good... the good eleven
- It's almost as easy as multiplying by one.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
- Some people get up at a quarter till seven
- Other people I've met, till 8:45 or nine.
- But I'm happy just a-hanging there till eleven.
- Cause eleven has always been a friend of mine.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- Eleven will always be a friend of mine.
- Now when you get a change to multiply by eleven,
- It's almost as easy as multiplying by one.
- You don't even have to use a pencil when you use eleven.
- And eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
- You know why?
- Because you get those funny-looking double-digit-doojies as an answer.
- Like 22, 33, 44 and 55.
- 66, 77, 88, and 99 is your answer
- When you multiply 11 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- I can always get the answer easy every time.
- Now eleven times ten is the same is ten times eleven.
- It's 110, no matter what you do.
- And 121 is the answer to eleven times eleven.
- And eleven times twelve is 132.
- Eleven thirteens are 143 now (that's-a 1-4-3).
- Eleven fourteens are 154 (dig it, that's 1-5-4),
- 1-6-5 and 1-7-6 are fifteen and sixteen.
- You'd better pick up on the latter 'cause I ain't got time to tell you
- any more.
- I've got a date with the good eleven...
- She never gave me any trouble till after nine.
- Good, good, good, good eleven
- Yes, eleven will always be a friend of mine!
