Two Times Table

Do you like shoes?

Uh-huh?

Well, I like twos

I'm the two times table

And we both like to dance

I like things that come in twos

I like ears, and elbows, and knees

I like pairs of gloves and turtle-doves

I like wings, and wellies, and water skis

When you're counting slippers, or flippers, or shoes

This is the method you'll need to use

A table for twos

One two is two

Two twos are four

Three twos are six

Are you keeping the score?

Four twos are eight

Five twos are ten

Six twos are 12

Are you ready for more?

Seven twos are 14

Eight twos are 16

Nine twos are 18

That might be plenty

But why should we stop now?

Reach for the top now

Ten twos (ten twos, ten twos)

Are 20

It's shoe time!

Work boots and wellies

Flip-flops and jellies

Slip-ons and sliders

Sprint shoes with spikes

Shiny black tap shoes

Buckle and strap shoes

Slip-ons for riders

Of superfast bikes

Velcro or lace-up

Let's keep the pace up

And count all the shoes

In twos

One pair is two

Two pairs are four

Three pairs are six

Now let's take to the floor

Four pairs are eight

Five pairs are ten

Six pairs are 12

You can guess what's in store

Seven pairs are 14

Eight pairs are 16

Nine pairs are 18

That might be plenty

But we can still do more

Why not have two more?

Ten twos (ten twos, ten twos)

Are two tens (two tens)

Are 20

Two tens can tango and do the fandango

20 unstoppable, swappable blocks

Ten twos can line up and shine up their shoes

And when there are shoes, there are usually socks

Stripy and spotty

Diamond and dotty

Yellow and red socks with holes in the toes

Long socks and short socks

School socks and sport socks

Warm wooly bed socks, which grandma once chose

Silky and snazzy

Jolly and jazzy

Let's count them all

Good call

One pair is two

Two pairs are four

Three pairs are six

Now let's open the drawer

Four pairs are eight

Five pairs are ten

Six pairs are 12

Socks you cannot ignore

Seven pairs are 14

Eight pairs are 16

Nine pairs are 18

That might be plenty

Let's have some new socks

Orange and blue socks

Ten pairs (ten pairs, ten pairs)

Are 20

Sideways!

One two is two

Two twos are four

Three twos are six

Are you keeping the score?

Four twos are eight

Five twos are ten

Six twos are 12

Are you ready for more?

Seven twos are 14

Eight twos are 16

Nine twos are 18

That might be plenty

But why should we stop now?

Reach for the top now

Ten twos

(Ten twos, ten twos)

Are 20
