LYRICS

We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions,
We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions!

I left for the store,
I’m buying some gum,
I didn’t want a hundred, or a thousand, or one!
I wanted a lot, yeah, that’s what I said,
Big pile gum, towering over my head!
I didn’t want trillions,
And I didn’t want billions,
That’s really too much,
Just give me a million!
I asked for a million,
The honest, sweet truth,
7 digits of gum,
Satisfied my sweet tooth!
I’m chewing the green gum,
I’m chewing a lot,
I’m the king of all gum
I’m a big gum, big shot,
A million a million,
Sweet pieces of gum,
I’m willing to share it,
If you wanna’ have some!

We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions
We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions!

Ones, thousands, what comes next?
Millions, billions, that’s correct!
Ones, thousands, what comes next?
Millions, billions, that’s correct!

Let’s try reading some numbers in the billions,
Don’t forget to say billion for the first comma,
Million when you see the second comma,
And thousand for the 3rd comma!

We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions
We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions!

I flew in a rocket,
I flew really high,
I flew in the sky,
Like an astronaut guy,
I looked at our Earth,
At the Earth we all share,
And I saw lots of people,
All living down there,
It wasn’t the hundreds,
Or thousands or millions,
The number of humans,
Went up to the billions…
Billions of people,
That’s really a lot,
All sharing our planet,
The one we’ve all got!
Not ones,
Not hundreds,
Not thousands
Not millions,
Sharing with people into the billions!

Ones, thousands, what comes next?
Millions, billions, that’s correct!
Ones, thousands, what comes next?
Millions, billions, that’s correct!

We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions
We’ve got the millions,
Then we’ve got the billions!
