There were five pieces in one whole pie
The denominator of the whole pie was five
The numerator of my part was three, as three-fifths of the pie was for me
My mom made the apple pie out of Granny Smith's
She asked me if I liked it
I said, I plead the fifth
The numerator's the part
The denominator's the whole
And fractions are parts of a whole
Three birds were on a telephone pole
The denominator, three, was the group as a whole
The numerator, two, out of the thirds
Described the two-thirds that were blue birds
The numerator, two, described how many were blue
Then something fell on my head
It was bird poo
Bird poo
The numerator's the part
The denominator's the whole
And fractions are parts of a whole
I took four shots on the goal
Three went in, but one hit the pole
The denominator was all four shots
The numerator was the three goals I got
The other team's record had taken a toll
Got three-fourths on my shots, and won Olympic gold
The numerator's the part
The denominator's the whole
And fractions are parts of a whole
A number line is every fraction between zero and one
Right in the middle is one-half, one-fourth is half of that
A fraction's parts, you realize, have to be the same size
Hey, we're late for the game
