Ah... But let me tell you...
*Sing.
3... Yes it is... That's a magic number.
Somewhere in the mystic ancient eternities, they got 3. Now that's a magic number.
The past, the present, and the future.
Faith and Hope and Charity.
The heart, the mind, and the body.
If it's 3, you can see, that's a magic number.
It takes three legs to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle called a tri-cycle.
Every triangle has three corners, every triangle has three sides. No more, no less. You don't have to guess.
If it's 3, that's a magic number.
A man and a woman, had a little baby. They had three in the family.
Now that's a magic number.
Now dig the pattern: 3, 6, 9. 12, 15, 18. 21, 24, 27... 30.
3 times 10 is 30 (Ten card goes down into magic hat and three show up in its place).
3 times 9 is 27 (Row of 9 baseball players gets turned into three rows).
3 times 8 is 24 (One octopus is joined by two more).
3 times 7 is 21 (One row of checked boxes on calendar gets turned into three weeks worth of checked boxes).
3 times 6 is 18 (scoreboard changes 6 to 18);
3 times 5 is 15 (five basketball players point to tall guy in middle with 15 on his jersey);
3 times 4 is 12 (Hen lying atop four eggs now finds a box stating "One Dozen").
3 times 3 is 9 (Triple candle holder turns into a menorah).
And 3 times 2 is 6 (One runner's pair of legs gets joined by two more runner's pairs).
And 3 times 1 is 3 (Ice cream cone gets changed from single to triple scoop).
Now that's a magic number.
Now dig the pattern once more: 3, 6, 9. 12, 15, 18. 21, 24, 27... 30.
Deeper voice: 30.
Deeper voice: Now multiply backwards from 3 times 10.
3 times 10 is 30.
Deeper voice: Going home now.
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... What is it?
3!!! Yeah, now that's a magic number.
*Softer now.
A man and a woman had a little baby. Yes they did.
They had 3 in the family.
Now that's a magic num-ber.
