    I do not know that song but I do know this one;

    Decimal and fractions are great attractions

    were wiz's in arithmetic.

    School work isn't hard for us we spell hippopotamus

    and know geography quite well.

    With our great store of knowledge

    We could go to college

    were 5th grade workers

    cant you tell?
