Simple Math II: The Revision Continues

Well, this blog has given me several songs that I've loved and a few I've regretted...

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh?

So, this song has been rattling around in my brain and I've come up with a bridge for it that I think is pretty clever, if I do say so myself. I haven't had time to record it, but I may try to tonight if the kids are sleeping peacefully. We'll see.

For now I wanted to post the lyrics because I think they're pretty clever.

One is a number that I'm thinking of addin' on to
Two is a number indivisible me plus you
Three now that's progress we've added one more Are we a company yet?
Four that's where I had to lock the door
I don't think I'll look back with regret

Who knew simple math would be so hard to do?
Sub-tract add on until they say you're through
Count cruel numbers until your face turns blue
I always thought...that one plus one was two

One was the loneliest I'd ever been till you moved in
Two now I think maybe we added wrong let's do those numbers up again
Three was a trainwreck crashin' into
Four four four is walkin out my door,
Excuse me while go and get her back

Who knew simple math would be so hard to do?
Sub-tract add on until they say we're through
Count cruel numbers until your face turns blue
I always thought...that one plus one was two

First we were just multiplying
Now it seems our times are dividing
I think we’ve met our quotient for this year
If you factor in the joys and the tears
If in this equation you are an x, and I ask “why?”
Do we subtract, add or multiply?


Who knew simple math would be so hard to do?
Sub-tract add on until they say we're through
Count cruel numbers until your face turns blue
I always thought...that one plus one was two

One plus one was two
One plus one was two
Aaaaaaoooooooohh
