Lyrics

Now everyone knows,
We should all show,
That 2 and 2 is 5.

No need to row
No seeds to sow
See 2 and 2 is 5!

Now how brown cow?
How Now Cown Brow?
Yes 2 and 2 is 5!

Cown Brow says it's 4
But I tend to disagree
See math is in my name
I must be right you see!

Allow me to Math You...

Hmm... 2 is 1 and 1...
Hmm... 2 2s is 2 and 2
Hmm... and 2 and 2 is 5!
See? No? Ok then...

Now 1 plus 1 will give 2
As 2 is 1 and 1
All clear so far?

Now 2 and 2 is 5
Here, count with me
1,2,(halfway done)
4,5 (5/4ths done!)

Easy, right?
Now go out and math,
My children!
Let them know our truth!

A chilling vision of a world where nobody's three/free.

The brown cow variations say it all. All the rhymes are fun. As a onetime math student, I am ready for the wrath of math!

@andygetch well, it is. My children considered “Math U” an equivalent to “F U” in the world of phrases, but all have come to better understanding and acceptance of it all! Luckily they also understand 2+2 does not equal 4 no matter what THE MAN says! :)

Hooray for a math take on the skirmish! Loving the number play and especially the line 'math is in my name'.
