Jeff Buckley - Three is a magic number
Tekst :
Three is a magic number, yes it is, it’s a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity, you get three as a magic number.
The past and the present and the future,
Faith hope and charity,
The heart and the brain and the body,
Give you three as a magic number.
It takes three legs to make a tripod, or to make a table stand.
It takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle.
Ev’ry triangle has three corners; ev’ry triangle has three sides.
No more , no less; you don’t have to guess.
When it’s three, you can see it’s a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes they did.
They had three in the family.
And that’s a magic number.
Three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
Twenty-one twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.
Three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen, eighteen,
Twenty-one twenty-four, twenty-seven, thirty.
Three times ten is thirty. three times nine is twenty-seven.
Three times eight is twenty-four. three times seven is twenty-one.
Three times six is eighteen. three times five is fifteen.
Three times four is twelve, and three times three is nine,
And three times two is six, and three times one is three, of course.
Three times one: what is it? three!
That’s a magic number.
A man and a woman had a little baby.
Yes they did.
They had three in the family.
And that’s a magic number.
