Two and two are four,
Four and four are eight,
Eight and eight are sixteen,
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two.

Inchworm, inchworm,
Measuring the marigold,
You and your arithmatic,
You'll probably go far.

Inchworm, inchworm,
Measuring the marigold,
Seems to me you'd stop and see
How beautiful they are.
