lyrics

Lyrics:

Two, three, five, seven
what comes next oh look! it's eleven
thirteen seventeen nineteen DONE
divisible only by itself and ONE!

A prime number only has two simple divisors,
(Itself and one, itself and one)
This rule applies to every prime no matter what the size is,
(Itself and one, itself and one)
It will not break in half, it will not be divided,
(Itself and one, itself and one)
We are ourselves, we are one, and here we stand united!
(Itself and one, itself and one)


Two, three, five, seven
what comes next oh look! it's eleven
thirteen seventeen nineteen DONE
divisible only by itself and ONE!


There is mystery in it, there's wonder in a prime
(Itself and one, itself and one)
We're all searching for patterns, of a written golden line,
(Itself and one, itself and one)
Equations and spirals, working to its rhythm,
(Itself and one, itself and one)
Not everything can be understood, there's a magic in what's hidden.
(Itself and one, itself and one)


Two, three, five, seven
what comes next oh look! it's eleven
thirteen seventeen nineteen DONE
divisible only by itself and ONE!

A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible
A Prime Number is Divisible only by itself AND ONE!
