Kid's Song: "Don't Be Mean To Odd Numbers"

Division is my favorite thing to do
Made easy by my old pal number 2
But there are ones that don't agree
And say that 2 is "not for me!"
And though sometimes it's hard to get along
I forget about our differences and sing this song

[chorus]
Don't be mean to odd numbers
Just because they're different, and they don't divide by two
Don't be mean to odd numbers
'Cause to them you're probably an odd one too

So I shake the hand of 3's and 5's and 9's
Even if it feels uncomfortable sometimes
When people stop to point and laugh
At how they make me look bad at math
Whenever I start feeling victimized
I look at them and I simply reply

[chorus]
Don't be mean to odd numbers
Just because they're different, and they don't divide by two
Don't be mean to odd numbers
'Cause to them you're probably an odd one too

Even though
It's not easy to do
The world would be no fun
If everyone looked just like you
So be a friend
To the odder numbers too
You can count on them to help you out
'Cause they can always count on you

(You're number 1!)
(Three cheers for odd numbers!)
(Give me five!)

[chorus]
Don't be mean to odd numbers
Just because they're different, and they don't divide by two
Don't be mean to odd numbers
'Cause even odds can be a friend to you
