I was exploring an enchanted wood
A wise fox started talking, I somehow understood
She asked, please, will you join me beneath this pine
She whispered, for you, even numbers, I'll define
They are zero, two, four, six and eight
Even numbers all share one trait
You can split them down the middle
If they make pairs, you've solved the riddle
Cause one plus one equals two, and two plus two makes four, it's true
Then three plus three equals six, and four plus four makes eight big sticks
Numbers, big and small, today we're gonna count them all
Some are even, some are odd, won't you join our counting squad
We walked further into the forest, when a rat squeaked
Please sit with me and be my guest
And I'll take the time to show you how to tell which numbers are odd
We looked at the fox and she gave a sly nod
The first five odd numbers in line
Are one, three, five, seven and nine
They are not divisible by two
And for all odd numbers, the same is true
Between one and ten, there are five of them
Now I'll count the odd numbers again
One, three, five, seven and nine
They're every other number on the number line
Numbers, big and small, today we're gonna count them all
Some are even, some are odd, won't you join our counting squad
Then we were met by a barn owl, perched outside his birdhouse on a dowel
He said, please visit with me just for a short time
And I'll discuss bigger even and odd numbers as I rhyme
Bigger numbers are even or odd too
And the last digit holds the clue
So what about the number seventy-two
It's even because it ends in two
Or what about the number ninety-three
That number's odd because you see
The last digit's the odd number three
Which means it can't be split evenly
Numbers, big and small, today we're gonna count them all
Some are even, some are odd, won't you join our counting squad
We wandered further into the wilderness
An alligator appeared from the darkness
G'day mates, I've got a special number to teach you
For you must learn about zero before your journey's through
Zero can't be split to make a new amount
But it's still even when you count
Cause if zero's a number's final digit
That number can be evenly split
For instance, consider the number ten
Let's split it in half and we'll see then
It makes two fives, and that's a pair
If it ends in zero, an even number's there
Numbers, big and small, today we're gonna count them all
Some are even, some are odd, won't you join our counting squad
Come on, join in
Numbers, big and small, today we're gonna count them all
Yep, all of them
Some are even, some are odd, won't you join our counting squad
Numbers big and small
Oh, think it's over. Too much fun
