3 Is a Magic Number [Finnish translation]

Three is a magic number

Yes it is, it’s a magic number

Somewhere in that ancient, mystic trinity

You’ll get 3 as a magic number

In the past, in the present, in the future

Faith and hope and charity

The heart and the brain and the body

will give you 3 as a magic number

It takes 3 legs to make a tripod

or to make a table stand

It takes 3 wheels to make a vehicle

called a tricycle

And every triangle has 3 corners

Every triangle has 3 sides

No more, no less, you don’t have to guess

When it’s 3 you can see – it’s a magic number

And that’s a magic number

A man and a woman had a little baby

Yes, they did – there were 3 in the family

And that’s a magic number

3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30

3-6-9, 12-15-18, 21-24-27, 30

Multiples of three, come up 3 times in each side of ten

In the first 10 you get 3, 6, 9

Beneath the -teen stand you get 12, 15 and 18

and in the 20′s you get up, get up 21, 24, 27

and it comes out even on 30

Multiply backwards from three times ten:

Three time ten is 30, three times nine is 27

Three times eight is 24, three times seven is 21

Three times six is 18, three times five is 15

Three times four is 12

and three times three is 9

and three times two is 6

and three times one is 3 of course

3 is a magic number

Yes it is, it’s a magic number

3 is a magic number

3 is a magic number

It’s 3 of course
