Three Is A Magic Number Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - Blind Melon

Three is a magic number 

Ya it is, it's a magic number 

Somewhere in that ancient mystic trinity 

You'll get three 

As a magic number 

The past, the present, the future, 

Faith, and hope, and charity, 

The heart, the brain, the body, 

Will give you three, 

It's a magic number 

It takes three legs to make a tripod or to make a table stand, 

And it takes three wheels to make a vehicle called a tricycle 

And every triangle has three corners, 

Every triangle has three sides, 

No more, no less, 

You don't have to guess 

That it's three 

Can't you see? 

It's a magic number 

A man and a woman had a little baby 

Yeah they did 

And there were three in the family 

And that's a magic number 

3, 6, 9, 

12, 15, 18, 

21, 24, 27, 

30 

Now multiply backwards from 3x10 

3x10 is 30 

3x9 is 27 

3x8 is 24 

3x7 is 21 

3x6 is 18 

3x5 is 15 

3x4 is 12 

And 3x3 is 9 

And 3x2 is 6 

And 3x1 is 3 of course 

(now dig the pattern once more!) 

3, 6, 9, 

12, 15, 18 

Oh yeah 

3x10 is 30 

3x9 is 27 

3x8 is 24 

3x7 is 21 

3x6 is 18 

3x5 is 15 

3x4 is 12 

And 3x3 is 9 

And 3x2 is 6 

And 3x1 

What is it? 

3 

A man and a woman had a little baby 

There were three in the family 

And that's a magic number
