Now, everybody try to find a good hiding place This old tree is gonna be the base I'm gonna close my eyes and hide my face And count to 100 by fives Ready? Go 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, 40 45, 50, 55, 60 65, 70, 75, 80 85, 90, 95 100, ready or not, here I come Apple, peaches, pumpkin pie Who's not ready? Holler I (I!) Aw, alright, I'll count it again But you better get hid, kid Here we go 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, 40 45, 50, 55, 60 65, 70, 75, 80 85, 90, 95, 100 105, 110, 115, 120 There Bushel of wheat and a bushel of rye Who's not here? Holler I! Twenty nickels makes a dollar I can't hear anybody holler Five times twenty is one hundred Everybody got to be hid All eyes open, here I come Woo! Multiplying by five is a little like counting by fives In fact, if you count it along on your fingers as you count it out loud by fives Your fingers will tell you how many fives you've got Okay, let's count together now Count on your fingers, one finger for each, count out loud. Get set, ready, go 5, 10, 15, 20, stop! Twenty. You got four fingers, see? That means four times five is twenty Let's try another one Get set, ready, go 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, stop 35? Seven fingers? That's right. Seven times five is 35 Okay, let's try a longer one Now when you run out of fingers at fifty, you see, because ten times five is fifty Then start over with the same fingers, and remember that you owe ten Get set, ready, go 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, 40 45, 50, 55, 60, stop! Ten and two, right? That's twelve fingers, and twelve times five is sixty See how it works? Now you may notice that if you multiply five by an even number, your product will end in zero And if you multiply five by an odd number, your product will end in five Okay now, let's do one more game of counting by fives on our fingers This is a long one, keep going Get set, ready, go 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, 40 45, 50, 55, 60 65, 70, 75, 80 85, stop! 85, 17 fingers Look at that boy with 17 fingers stickin' up How do you do that, kid? Anyway, five times 17 is 85 And see, that's three fives short of a hundred. If you had three more nickels, 15 cents Then added the 15 to the 85, you'd get a hundred, right? 'Cause five times twenty is one hundred Everybody got to be hidden 5, 10, 15, 20 25, 30, 35, 40 45, 50, 55, 60 65, 70, 75, 80 85, 90, 95, 100 (Outro) Ready or not Here I come
