yep one hundred million, billion, trillion if that’s even a number.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492
If I had a rocket ship what I’d do

Counting by two, two by two, counting by two
You can count as long as you want. Go all the way

Jump in the line it’s gonna be fine
Gonna be a good song last all day long

Four leaf Clover
skip counting by 4
Music and lyrics by Victor Johnson Copyright 2010
Well I went to Ireland on a boat
It was so nice there I threw off my coat
Got down on my knees just like a goat
and looked for four leaf clovers
I found a four leaf clover for every friend
I got waiting for me back home again
I tied ‘em all together at the stem and
Until I see my friends again
I got a 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48 leaf clover
which is really good luck
I got a 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,48
Super duper good luck clover.

Four times table - a.k.a Donny Hogwalker
Music and lyrics by Victor Johnson Copyright 2010
I know this guy and we call him Donny the dog walker because he walks dogs for people. One day Donny was out walking his dogs and this old farmer came up to him and said “ Hey Donny, will you walk my hogs?” Donny said “sure, I walk your hogs”. So now he’s Donny Hogwalker.
Donny the dogwalker walks the little dogs and the big dogs and now he walks hogs.
He’s got all these legs he has to deal with and he’s trying to keep the leash from getting caught up in all these legs ‘cause every dog has four legs. So if he has one dog he has four legs, and if he has two dogs he has eight legs and so on.
1x4=4
2x4=8
3x4=12
4x4=16
5x4=20
6x4=24
7x4=28
8x4=32
9x4=36
10x4=40
11x4=44
12x4=48 and that’s a lot of legs
One time Donny was walking the dogs and the hogs and there were so many he got a ticket! He was stopping traffic there was so many. Hogs are big. I don’t know if you know this but hogs are really big.
There’s your song and that’s the story of Donny Hogwalker

9 times table- a.k.a Cat’s have nine lives
Music and lyrics by Victor Johnson Copyright 2010
Actors need to learn their lines.
Children need to grow their minds
Did you know cats are called felines?
And they’re really good for multiplying ....because
Cats have nine lives
Honey bees love their wives
When you multiply by nine
Keep in mind an ol’ feline
They say cats have nine lives so we can multiply 9 by the number of cats to find out how many lives those cats supposedly get. What it really means is that they are really lucky I think.
The nine times table
1x9 is 9 lives
2x9 is 18 lives
3x9 is 27 lives
4x9 is 36 lives
5x9 is 45 lives
6x9 is 54 lives
7x9 is 63 lives
8x9 is 72 lives
9x9 is 81 lives
10x9 is 90 lives
11x9 is 99 lives
12x9 is 108 lives
Cats have nine lives
Honey bees love their wives
When you multiply by nine
Keep in mind that ol’ feline
