Anyone remember this song?

<p>Or was I the only one who was raised exclusively on times-tables music?</p>

<p>I love rabbits
They have peculiar habits
That they are cute there's really no denying
But darn those idgits
They must really know their digits,
'cause they're masters at the art of multiplying!</p>

<p>They've got a santacore
That tells them 2 x 2 is 4,
2 x 3 will always equal 6
And you can calculate
That 2 x 4 will equal 8
Bunnies really know arithmetic!</p>

<p>They know that 2 x 5 is 10,
2 x 6 is 12,
That 2 x 7 is 14,
Now you can do it yourself!</p>

<p>Two eights are 16,
2 x 9 is 18,
We can keep on going so much higher...
And 2 x 10 is 20,
And I really think that's plenty
For a funny little bunny multiplier!</p>

<hr>

<p>Here is the number three now,
To use as your guide,
I know that you can see how
To learn to divide
Take a three, divide it into six, you know it's true
That the proper solution to the problem is two!</p>

<p>Let us continue further, I'll try to go slow
You mustn't get in a furor, let's see what you know
What do you find
When you take three into nine?
Three goes into nine...
dadadadum
Three times!</p>

<p>Take your three, three goes into twelve
It isn't such a difficult chore,
You must discover, one way or another
That the answer to the problem is four</p>

<p>And now we'll try to divide by three
The number fifteen
This can be pretty tricky, as hard as it seems,
Concentrate, concentrate, and you'll be surprised
When you come up with the answer that's right
(insert the next line here)
Show me it's no surprise
That the answer is five</p>

<p>I can post more if you want. It's really sad that I still remember all the lyrics :)</p>

<p>wow i never had a times table song</p>

<p>there was no singing at me school</p>

<p>never heard of it. in china, there's this timestable thing it's like " one one is one one two is two two two is four.. etc" but it's pretty catchy in chinese.</p>

<p>I just did a search for "Funny Little Bunny Multiplier," and found your posting. I wanted to teach this song to my kids, as I learned them from 45s when I was a kid. I remember many of the words, including the "3s" - "...in the land of ice and snow, there lived a little eskimo..." I believe there was a set of records - is this how you learned this song?</p>

<p>Yeah, we had a lot of records at home.
I didn't know the song was that old! But given our family has records from the 60s, I guess 45s isn't that far-fetched...</p>

<p>Too bad our record got shattered so I've had to reconstruct the songs from memory. I've never found anyone else who's actually heard of them.</p>

<p>I lip-synched to the rabbit song and did math-magic tricks for my Junior Miss Pageant school talent act in 1980. I learned the song from a Disney record album. Every once in a while I check the internet to see if I can find an MP3 of it. My kids think I made the song up. I’m grateful that my folks didn’t own a camcorder in back then. The still pictures are bad enough.</p>

<p>I think the words were on the album jacket, and the word 'santacore" should be replaced with “semaphore”.</p>

<p>That song was one of my favorites as a child which is bizarre because I am so bad at math.
It was on an old Disney CD called Multiplication & Division and had Jiminy Cricket pointing at a chalkboard.
The song was called Rabbits Times Rabbits.
I just checked and it is reissued on I-Tunes.</p>

<p>I know these songs…I have the album. My mom bought it for me when I was growing up to learn my timestables. I still remember them too. Wonder if they are on you tube?
Thanks for the blast from the past!!</p>
