Figure Eight
Music and Lyrics by Bob Dorough
Cm C#
Figure eight as double four,
G Cm
Figure four as half of eight.
C#
If you skate, you would be great
G Cm
If you could make a figure eight
Fm G Cm
That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.
Cm C#
One times eight is two times four.
G Cm
Four times four is two times eight.
C#
If you skate upon thin ice,
G Cm
You'd be wise if you thought twice
Fm G Cm
Before you made another single move.
C G/B Gm/Bb F/A
One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16,
Fm/Ab C/G Am6/F# Fm6
Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32,
C/E Cdim Dm7 G C
And five times eight is 40, you know.
C G/B Gm/Bb F/A
Six times eight is 48, seven times eight is 56,
Fm/Ab C/G Am6/F# Fm6
Eight times eight is 64, nine times eight is 72,
C/E Cdim Dm7 G C
And ten times eight is 80, that's true.
Em F D7/F# G
Eleven times eight is 88, and twelve times eight is 96.
D
Now, here's a chance to get off
G
On your new math tricks.
D
'Cause twelve times eight is the same as
G
Ten times eight plus two times eight
G7
80 plus 16 ... ninety-six!
C G/B Gm/Bb F/A
One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16,
Fm/Ab C/G Am6/F# Fm6
Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32,
C/E Cdim Dm7 G C
And five times eight is 40, you know.
Cm C#
Figure eight as double four,
G Cm
Figure four as half of eight.
C#
If you skate, you would be great
G Cm
If you could make a figure eight
Fm G Cm
That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.
Ab Fm C
Place it on its side and it's a symbol meaning Infinity...
