lyrics

ARITHMATIC BLUES

1 + 1 is 2
2 + 2 is 4
Subtract that number from itself
and you’ll have nothing more

you’re back to zero -
such a lonesome so and so
you’ve got the arithmetic blues -
dontcha know…

Move right through addition
straight into subtraction
get into long division
and learn about a fraction

One times anything
is gonna be anything every time
you’ve got the arithmetic blues
all up on your mind

I know it can get confusing
when negative numbers get involved
How am I supposed to know the square root of a round number
most of this stuff don’t make no sense at all

2x2 is 4
3x3 is 9
If a number ain’t divisible
it makes that number prime

11, 13,17 and 19 - just to name a few
you’ve got the arithmetic blues --
now what you gonna do?
