Multiplication
Bobby Darin Lyrics

When you see a gentleman bee Round a lady bee buzzin' Just count to ten then count again There's sure to be an even dozen
If you see a male bee flying around a female bee, wait a little bit and then count to ten. Repeat the count, and you'll likely end up with twelve new bees in total.

Multiplication That's the name of the game And each generation They play the same
The act of breeding and creating offspring is what keeps any species going, and every group of offspring repeats the process just like their parents did.

Now, there was two butterflies Castin' their eyes Both in the same direction You'd never guess that one little yes Could start a butterfly collection
Two butterflies took an interest in each other, and it only took one of them agreeing to breed for their offspring to start a new group of butterflies.

I say one and one is five You can call me a silly goat But, ya take two minks add two winks Ah, ya got one mink coat
Adding two things together doesn't always make sense at face value. However, with the right combination, two pairs of minks, one male and one female, can produce the fur for a single coat.

When a girl gets coy in front of a boy After three or four dances You can just bet she'll play hard to get To multiply her chances
If a girl acts shy in front of a boy and dances with him more than once, it's a sign that she wants to be chased. She's trying to increase the likelihood of having an offspring with the best suitor.

Mother Nature's a clever girl She relies on habit Ya take two hares with no cares Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits
Nature has a way of keeping itself alive by sticking to what works. Taking two rabbits with no predators and giving them a place to live will quickly result in more rabbits being born.

Parakeets in between tweets Sometimes get too quiet Uh oh but, have no fear 'Cause soon you'll hear A parakeet's riot just try it
Sometimes even the birds singing in the background are waiting for their chance to breed. However, it's only a matter of time before the quiet is replaced by the racket of new offspring tweeting.

Multiplication That's the name of the game And every generation You know they play the same
Breeding and having offspring is necessary for any species to survive, and each generation will continue the cycle just like their ancestors did before them.
