about

This is a humorous, imaginative song written for a number, counting and multiplication lesson - It was part of a bigger, three week Main Lesson story.

lyrics

How many mermaids in a pipi shell ?
1 (2,3,4,5,10) or 2 (4,6,8,10,20) or 3 (6,9,12,15,30) may dwell .
You must be small if you want to sell, pipis on the ocean floor.
Mult and Ply are keen to grow - plants from all the world they show !
Trouble is when they can’t stop, beans growing over the mountain top.
Mult and Ply are keen for more, Tiger Lillies by the score -
Trouble is when you turn around, the tigers growl but can’t be found.
Mult and Ply they like to dream, of the waves where they have been -
Trouble is when it’s wake time - the vines have tied them to the washing line.
Mut and ply are identical twins - they look the same except for their grins -
The trouble is when they hiccup - you think your eyes are just playing up.
