Текст песни: We'll All Be a Doubling + перевод

We’ll all be a-doubling, a-doubling, a-doubling

We’ll all be a-doubling in thirty-two years

We’ll all be a-doubling, a-doubling, a-doubling

We’ll all be a-doubling in thirty-two years

Two times two is four!

Two times four is eight!

Two times eight is sixteen

And the hour is getting late!

Two times sixteen is thirty-two

Twice that is sixty-four;

Next comes a hundred twenty-eight

And do you want to hear more?

Next comes two hundred fifty-six

Twice that five hundred and twelve;

Next, one thousand twenty-four

Just figure it out yourself

Keep doubling ten generations

You can have children over a million

Keep going another twenty

Your children would be over a trillion

Give it another three hundred years

Your children number a billion;

Keep doubling another millennium

You can have another quadrillion

For two thousand years we been praying

O Lord, deliver me please

The Lord helps them that helps themselves

We better get off our knees

Either people are going to have to get smaller

Or the world’s going to have to get bigger;

Or there’s a couple other possibilities

I’ll leave it to you to figure

I know I shouldn’t a been born!

I was my mama’s third child;

But now I’m hollering around the world

And I drive the Birchers wild!
