Place Value Thousands (comma me)

LYRICS

1-2-3,
Comma me!
After 3,
It’s a comma you see..
And that first comma there,
That’s the thousands comma,
Didn’t you hear?
1-2-3,
Digits for me,
When there’s 3,
It’s the hundreds you see…
321
But when those 3,
Turn to 4,
You pass the hundreds,
1,321
And a comma’s in store…
Every time,
You see that first comma,
Just say thousand,
Don’t ask your mama,
Every time you see that first comma,
Just say thousand,
Just say thousand,
Like this, like this…
(say the number you see in front of the comma,
when you see the comma, say “thousand”
Then say the number you see after the comma)

9, 402
52, 486,
255, 321

Comma me,

That’s the thousands comma,
Didn’t you hear?
Every time,

Just say thousand,
Don’t ask your mama,
Every time,
You see that first comma,
Just say thousand,
Just say thousand,
Like this, like this,
Like this, like this…
