Chorus
Lessons like this….You’ve never heard before
You’re in store, for sure, to learn something more
The moment you walk through my classroom doors
like everyone else you’ll be screaming for more
Your chance, at last, to figure it out
A decimal…..
And what it’s really about
a little dot, so teenie, makes you scream and shout
cuz when it’s mixed in —we all freak out
talking decimals you’re gonna see the point
when you know these things, you’ll never disappoint
it’s simple… easy…. tell it to you straight
if they’re not line up, you’ll make mistakes
so shift em to the left
maybe shift em to the right
it doesn’t really matter which way you have to shift ‘em
get ‘em lined up to get it right
Chorus
so let’s first understand
a decimal, the point…we need to comprehend
cuz when you think about a decimal
it’s breaking numbers into parts and wholes
That’s right it’s parts and whole
the basic facts you already know
To the left you have your ones,
tens, hundreds and more
To right one digit …a tenth
and then we have a hundredth
And sliding one more yes yes,
you’ll find yourself the thousanth
so shift em to the left
maybe shift em to the right
it doesn’t really matter which way you have to shift ‘em
get ‘em lined up to get it right
Chorus
so shift em to the left
maybe shift em to the right
it doesn’t really matter which way you have to shift ‘em
get ‘em lined up to get it right
so shift em to the left
maybe shift em to the right
it doesn’t really matter which way you have to shift ‘em
get ‘em lined up to get it right
so shift em to the left
maybe shift em to the right
it doesn’t really matter which way you have to shift ‘em
get ‘em lined up to get it right
