Three, oh, is a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
You'll get three
As a magic number
The past, the present, the future
Faith and hope and charity
The heart, the brain, the body
Will give you three
It's a magic number
It takes three legs to make a tripod
Or to make a table stand
And it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle
And every triangle has three corners
Every triangle has three sides
No more, no less
You don't have to guess
That it's three, can't you see?
It's a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby
Yeah they did
And there were three in the family
And that's a magic number
3, 6, 9
12, 15, 18
21, 24, 27
30
3, 6, 9
12, 15, 18
21, 24, 27
30

Now multiply backwards from 3 times 10
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
And 3 times 3 is 9
And 3 times 2 is 6
And 3 times 1 is 3, of course
Now dig the pattern once more
3, 6, 9
12, 15, 18
Oh yeah
3 times 10 is 30
3 times 9 is 27
3 times 8 is 24
3 times 7 is 21
3 times 6 is 18
3 times 5 is 15
3 times 4 is 12
And 3 times 3 is 9
And 3 times 2 is 6
And 3 times 1 is 3
What is it?
3!
