We are the women and men of measurement
If there's a distance, we find the length of it
We know we can always put
Twelve inches inside a foot
And one yard just won't be complete
If it does not contain three feet
One inch is what you got
If you're looking at the top of a bottle of pop
On your thumb is about one inch
From your knuckle to your fingertip
We are the women and men of measurement
If there's a distance, we find the length of it
The length of the folder where your work is put
Measures out to just one foot
You'll find a foot if you look
At the height of the parrot on my hook
Yarg
A football field has one hundred marks
Each one is a yard apart
At the plate with a softball bat
A yard is about what you're looking at
Open your fingers a pinch
And make an inch
Then make your hands look
Just like a foot
Put them three times as far and make a yard
Now we know how long they are
We are the women and men of measurement
If there's a distance, we find the length of it
