Figure eight as double four,

Figure four as half of eight.

If you skate, you would be great

If you could make a figure 8.

That's a circle that turns 'round upon Itself.



1 x 8 is 2 x 4.

4 x 4 is 2 x 8.

If you Skate upon thin Ice,

You'd be wise If you thought twice

before you made another single move.



1 x 8 is 8,2 x 8 is l6,

3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32,

and 5 X 8 is 40, you know.



6 x 8 is 48, 7 x 8 IS 56,

8 x 8 Is 64, 9 x 8 IS 72,

and 10 x 8 is 80, that's true.



11 x 8 is 88, and 12 x 8 is 96.

Now, here's a chance to get off

On your new math tricks.

'Cause 12 x 8 is the same as

10 x 8 Plus 2 X 8

80 plus 16 ... 96



1 x 8 is 8, 2 x 8 is 16

3 x 8 is 24, 4 x 8 is 32

and 5 x 8 is 40, you know.



Figure eight as double four,

Figure four as half of eight.

If you skate, you would be great,

If you could make a figure 8.

That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.



Place it on its side and it's a symbol meaning

Infinity
