Lyrics to The Nine Song

One, two, three, three blocks in my first row. One, two, three, three blocks in my second

One, two, three, three blocks in my third row. Three rows of three, three rows combined

As you can see, three rows of three make Nine

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine

Oh, tickly nose. I'm fine. ACHOO!

One, two, three, three blocks in a column

One, two, three, three blocks top to bottom

One, two, three, three blocks if you've got them

Three lots of three, three in a line, as you can see

Three lots of three make nine. That's right

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, Nine!

I'm three blocks up and down, and three from side to side

I'm the same in both directions. I'm as tall as I am wide

That's why I'm square like you

I'm three by three, you're two by two, I'm two by two

You're three by three, that's why you're square, like me!

We seem a very unlikely pair, but now you've explained it

I see the squareness we share...

I'm two blocks up and down, and two from side to side.

I'm the same in both directions. I'm as tall as I am wide

That’s why I’m square like you

I'm three by three, I’m two by two. That's why I’m square… ACHOO!

Yes, I am square like you. I'm three by three, you’re two by two

I’m two by two, you’re three by three

That's why you're square, that's why you're square

That's why you're square, like me!

One, two, three, Four. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, Nine!
