6
Three is a magic number,
7
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
8
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
9
You get three as a magic number.
10
The past and the present and the future.
11
Faith and Hope and Charity,
12
The heart and the brain and the body,
13
Give you three as a magic number.
14
It takes three legs to make a tripod
15
Or to make a table stand.
16
It takes three wheels to make a vehicle
17
Called a tricycle.
18
Every triangle has three corners,
19
Every triangle has three sides,
20
No more, no less.
21
You don't have to guess.
22
When it's three, you can see
23
It's a magic number.
24
A man and a woman had a little baby,
25
Yes, they did.
26
They had three in the family,
27
And that's a magic number.
28
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
29
3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30.
30
Now the Multiples of 3
31
come up three times in each set of 10.
32
In the first 10 you get 3-6-9,
33
and in the teens ten its 12-15 and 18,
34
and in the 20's
35
you getta 21-24-27,
36
and it comes out even on 30.
37
Multiply backwards from 3 x 10:
38
3 x 10 is 30, 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24, 3 x 7 is 21,
39
3 x 6 is 18, 3 x 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12,
40
And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 x 2 is 6,
41
And 3 x 1 is 3 of course.
42
Now dig the pattern once more:
43
3....3-6-9
44
12...12-15-18
45
21...21-24-27...30
46
Now multiply from 10 backwards:
47
3 x 10 is 30 (Keep going), 3 x 9 is 27, 3 x 8 is 24,
48
3 x 7 is 21, 3 x 6 is 18, 3 X 5 is 15, 3 x 4 is 12,
49
And 3 x 3 is 9, and 3 X 2 is 6.
50
And 3 x 1 ...
51
What is it?!
52
Three!
53
Yeah. That's a magic number.
54
A man and a woman had a little baby,
55
Yes, they did.
56
They had three in the family,
57
That's a magic number.
