- Key to symbols within the lyrics
- Three is a magic number.
- Yes it is, it's a magic number.
- Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
- You get three as a magic number.
- The past and the present and the future,
- Faith and hope and charity,
- The heart and the brain and the body
- Give you three.
- That's a magic number.
- It takes three legs to make a tri-pod or to make a table stand.
- It takes three wheels to make a ve-hicle called a tricycle.
- Every triangle has three corners,
- Every triangle has three sides,
- No more, no less.
- You don't have to guess.
- When it's three you can see it's a magic number.
- A man and a woman had a little baby.
- Yes, they did.
- They had three in the family.
- That's a magic number.
- 3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.
- 3, 6, 9... 12, 15, 18... 21, 24, 27... 30.
- >> <Multiply backwards from three times ten.>
- Three time ten is... >> 30
- Three times nine is... >> 27
- Three times eight is... >> 24
- Three times seven is... >> 21
- Three times six is 18, three times five is 15
- Three times four is twelve
- And three times three is nine and three times two is six.
- And three times one is three of course.
- >> <Now take the pattern once more.>
- >> <Three!>
- 3, 6, 9.
- >> <Twelve.>
- 12, 15, 18.
- >> <Twenty-one.>
- 21, 24, 27... 30.
- >> <Now multiply from 10 backwards.>
- Three times ten is... >> 30
- Three times nine is 27
- Three times eight is... >> 24
- Three times seven is... >> 21
- Three times six is 18, three times five is 15,
- Three times four is twelve
- And three times three is nine and three times two is six.
- And three times one... <What is it?>
- >> <Three!>
- <Yeah> That's a magic number.
- A man and a woman had a little baby.
- Yes, they did.
- They had three in the family.
- That's a magic number.
