Lyrics:

VERSE1:
when you use multiplication
and count by 6 don't get confused, and lose your patience
no no
see those 6’s can be tricky
but if you just sing it with me
you’ll be counting up to 60
know your 6’s in a jiffy
they say

PRECHORUS:
cmon try it
sing it it, don’t be quiet
i wanna hear it from the highest
top of mountains, to the sky
they’re singing

CHORUS:
oh I think that I found a way to count by 6
12, 18, 24, 30 and 36
4-2, 48, 54 and then 60
get up out of your seat and sing it with me!

VERSE2:
6 x 2, you just double
you get 12, and 6 x 3 is no trouble
18

6 X 4, count one more
6, 12, 18, 24

6 x 5, you gotta try
you get that 3-oh my!
they say

PRECHORUS:
cmon try it
sing it it, don’t be quiet
i wanna hear it from the highest
top of mountains, to the sky
they’re singing


CHORUS:
oh I think that I found a way to count by 6
12, 18, 24, 30 and 36
4-2, 48, 54 and then 60
get up out of your seat and sing it with me!

VERSE3:
so if you try 6 x 6
well the answers 36
did I mention 6 x 7
gets you 42 and next is…
8 x 6, gets you 48 and if…
you try to multiply a 6 and 9
then 5-4’s what you’re gonna find


CHORUS:
oh I think that I found a way to count by 6
12, 18, 24, 30 and 36

4-2, 48, 54 and then 60

Miss Coffers favourite memory: At my year six camp when I faced my fear of the abseiling wall. I ended up loving it so much I learnt how to hang upside down infamously known as the hanging angel!
