is a magic number, yes it is, it's a magic number
Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity
You get 3 as a magic number
The past, and the present, and the future
Faith, and hope, and charity
The heart, and the brain, and the body
Will give you 3, that's a magic number
It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand
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
Now this three, can you see? It's a magic number
A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did
They were three in the family, that's a magic number
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30(x2)
Now multiply backwards from 3 times 10
Three times ten is 30, three times nine is 27
Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21
Three times six is 18, three times 5 is 15
Three times 4 is 12, and three times 3 is 9
Three times 2 is 6, and three times 1 is 3, of course
Now think the pattern once more
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30
Three times ten is 30, three times nine is 27
Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21
Three times six is 18, three times 5 is 15
Three times 4 is 12, and three times 3 is 9
Three times 2 is 6, and three times 1 is 3, of course
A man and a woman had a little baby, yes they did
They were three in the family, that's a magic number
