Animaniacs - Multiplication Lyrics

Miss flameil:Yakko,
Yakko:yea miss Flameil?
Miss Flameil:I want you to multiply...47 times...83


7 times 3 is 21 which as you know is just two 10's plus 1
And so we put the one right here and we carry the 2 one left
To the top of the tenths place right next door
And we put it on top of the number 4
Which is really four tenths that we multiply times 3 in the ones place
And that's why
We now have 12 which we add to the 2 that we carry to get 14

See how easy that was
Ho ho it's multiplication
Yes math education
Hey Albert Einstein said that it's so easy to do
It's simple it's breezy
It's fun and it's easy
So buy a calculator
You can multiply too

And now the second digit!
7 times 8 is 56 which as you know is just 5 tens plus 6
And so we put the 6 in the tenths place, left of the one
Carry the 5 like we did before
To the top of the tenths place next to the 4
Then multiply that 4 times 8 to get 32 see isn't this great
Then we add the 5 that we carried before to get 37
Then add once more, straight down to get 3901

Isn't this swell
Oh lets give multiplication
A standing innovation
Issac Newton multiplied a couple times two
Times, two, times two
It's simple it's breezy
It's fun and it's easy
Just buy a calculator, and study this stuff later
Maybe someday you can multiply numbers, 2..3..4..5..recess!
