[Intro: Lynn Loesser & Frank Loesser]
Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
Eight and eight are sixteen
Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two (Two and two are four)
Four and four are eight
That's all you have on your businesslike mind
Two and two are four
Four and four are eight
How can you be so blind? (Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two)

[Verse 1: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Inchworm, inchworm (Two and two are four)
Measuring the marigolds (Four and four are eight)
You and your arithmetic (Eight and eight are sixteen)
You'll probably go far (Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two)

[Verse 2: Frank Loesser & Lynn Loesser]
Inchworm, inchworm (Two and two are four)
Measuring the marigolds (Four and four are eight)
Seems to me you'd stop and see (Eight and eight are sixteen)
How beautiful they are (Sixteen and sixteen are thirty-two)
