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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
Castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction
You'd never guess that one little yes
Could start a butterfly collection
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
Let me tell ya now
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
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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
You know they play the same
Hear me talkin' to ya
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
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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And every generation
You know they play the same
Yes, it's multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same

Darin was a very special and talented entertainer. He was a Grammy award winning singer ('Mack The Knife'), a respected member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ('Dream Lover', 'Splish Splash', 'If I Were A Carpenter') a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame, a successful record producer, an Oscar nominated actor and a strong supporter of the American Heart Association. Bobby was married to actress Sandra Dee from 1960-1967. They had one son, Dodd, born in December 1961. As a result of complications from a rheumatic heart, Bobby's life was tragically cut short in 1973.
Darin's mother, Vanina Cassotto, had given birth to him when she was 16, and as a result, her parents raised Darin as though he were their son while Vanina was presented off as his elder sister. Darin did not learn the truth about his parentage until he was 32.

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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
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
Multiplication
That's the name of the game
And each generation
They play the same
Let me tell ya now
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
When a girl gets coy in front of a boy
After three or four dances
