5 is a beautiful number

for David Korn on account of he likes this tune!

(Sorry, this is just a draft; there are no visuals yet, and lots of mistakes!)

Sung to the tune of "Oh What a Beautiful Feeling"

5 is a beautiful number
Think when you multiply 5: All ends in 5 or in Zero...
That's how you know that its right!

Zero times 5 gives you zero,
One times five's naturally five,
5 times 2's 10 -- 1 and Ze-ro!
3 fives 15 -- 1 and 5

4 rows of 5 gives you Twenty (2-0)
5 times itself's Twenty-Five (2-5)
6 groups of 5 gives you 30 (3-0)
7 times 5's 35! (3-5)

8 groups of 5 gives you 40 (4-0)
9 groups of 5: 45 (4-5)
10 groups of 5 gives you Fifty (5-0)
Just Alternate Zeros and Fives!

Even ones end with a Zero (2,4,6,8,10)
Odd numbers end with a Five (1,3,5,7,9)
Learn them and you'll be a hero,
when you can multiply five

Five's products add up in series (0, 5, 1, 6, 2...)
There's always 5 in between (7, 3, 8, 4, 9...)
The first series starts out with zero
The odd one off course starts with 5...

Let me explain somewhat clearer:
Think of 10 -- zero plus 1
you...
then see 15 's 5 plus one: SIX!
20's "2-0" makes 2

"25" adds up to 7
"30" would add up to 3
"35" adds up to 8 and
40 is four, you can see

5 is a beautiful number
There's so much to be done with five
5 is a magical number
Listen, I'll try to describe:

5 x 11's just fifty (5x10) PLUS five times one's 55
5 x 12's easily 60: 5 x 10 plus 5 x 2

5 x 13's al-so easy: 5 x 10 plus 5 x 3
5 x 14 -- just add 20
Now you try 5 x 15!________

5 x 16 start with 50 (5x10)
plus thirty from 5 groups of 6
Add them together, that 80!
Now you are learning some tricks!

17 5's: start with 50
+ (7x5)'s 35
This way you use your addition
to help you when you multiply!

5 x 18: you take 50,
then multiply 5 x 8
50 + 40 make 90;
Some day you won't hesitate!

5 x 19, you add 50
to 5 x 9: that's 45
95 ends up the answer
Odd numbers end always in five

Fi-na-lly we have 5 20's
5 Twenty green dollar bills
5 x 2's 10, plus a zero
That makes one hundred - now drill!

Cause 5 is a beautiful number
Think when you multiply 5 All ends in 5 or in Ze-ro
That's how you know that its right!!
