Song Lyric Wisdom: The Inchworm Song

The Inchworm Song

Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two

Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
You and your arithmetic
Will probably go far

Inchworm, inchworm
Measuring the marigolds
Seems to me, you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are

Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty two
