Lyrics:

Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand
He'd also have twelve toes
Or so the theory goes...
Well, with twelve digits, I mean fingers
He probably would've invented two more digits
When he invented his number system
Then, if he'd saved the zero for the end
He could count and multiply by 12's
Just as easily as you and I do by 10's

Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand
He'd probably count: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, dek
El, do
Dek and el being two entirely new signs
Meaning 10 and 11-single digits
And his 12, do, would've been written:
One-zero
Get it?
That'd be swell, to multiply by 12

Hey, Little Twlvetoes, I hope you're well
Must be some far-flung planet where you dwell
If we were together you could be my cousin
Down here we call'em 'a dozen'
Hey, Little Twlvetoes, please come back home...

Now, if man
Had been born with six fingers on each hand
His children would have'em too
And when they played hide-and-go-seek
They'd count by sixes, fast
And when they studied piano, they'd do their
Six-finger exercises
And when they went to school
They'd learn the Golden Rule
And how to multiply by 12 easily:
Just put down the zero
But me-I have to learn it the hard way
Let me see now...

1 x 12 is 12, 2 x 12 is 24, 3 x 12 is 36, 4 x 12 is 48
5 x 12 is 60
6 x 12 is 72, 7 X 12 is 84, 8 x 12 is 96, 9 x 12 is 108, 10 x 12 is 120
11 x 12 is 132, and 12 x 12 is 144
Wow

Hey Little Twvetoes, I hope you're thrivin'
Some of us ten-toed folks are still survivin'
If you help me with my 12's
I'll help you With your 10's
And we could all be friends
Little Twelvetoes, please come back home
