6 & 6 Is
Adam West Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

6 and 6 is 13
Believe me every word I mean
Sweet young thing from down the lane
Five more minutes and you'll feel the same
I'm begging you to stay
But everytime you drive away
When all I'm trying to do is say
Hello

8 and 8 is 17
Disco and my beauty queen

Two great tastes that never fail
Five more minutes and I'll be back in jail

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam West's song And 6 Is are intriguing and open to interpretation. The repeated use of "six and six is 13" hints at confusion and indecision, as mathematically, six and six is actually 12. The character in the song seems to be struggling with wanting someone to stay (saying "I'm begging you to stay") but then letting them go every time. The line "sweet young thing from down the lane" could also suggest an immoral or forbidden relationship.

In the second verse, the numbers shift to "eight and eight is 17" and the imagery shifts to disco and a beauty queen, perhaps indicating a superficial and fleeting relationship. The repeated use of "five more minutes" could indicate a sense of urgency, as if the character knows he only has a limited amount of time with this person, but at the same time, this urgency seems to be driving him to make poor choices, like ending up back in jail. Overall, the song portrays a sense of confusion and desperation in the pursuit of love or a relationship, but ultimately failing to hold on.
