The Numbers Game

The number 0 has nothing
       Nothing to do, nothing to say
It won’t add tomorrow
       Nor subtract today

1 is the lonely number
      I’ll have to comply
Cause it is always upset
      I’m going to tell you why

Since 2 has a friend
      And one has none
The two can enjoy more
      The two can have fun

Now you’ve heard about 3
      Three draws a crowd
For when two disagrees with one
      They often get loud

So 4 stepping in
      Settles three by arbitration
And numbers appreciating this
      Give a standing ovation

The next of the lot is unhappy
      For 5 he knows makes up a hand
He misses the clap of another
      To applaud four his favorite fan

Now the other upset number
      Comes in at the number 6
Cause when a couple of three’s get together
      Her headache she can’t seem to fix

So in trots five and six
      To talk to number 7
Who always cheers them up
      With stories from Seventh Heaven

Now 8 is fun to hang out with as well
      For he’ll make you laugh and sing
His bottom may be a bit overweight
      But his top can surely swing

So rounding out this great field
      We’ve come to our number 9
She’ll always beg to differ with us
      But she’s really the end of the line…
