1, 2, 3 and 4 more makes 7
6 is afraid of 7 'cause 7 ate 9

9 was minding his business
Talking to 10 about Gordy Howe's clothes
Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
Ronaldo will have to make do
Ever since 7 ate 9 it seems
I've got an extra finger and an extra toe too
7 ate 9
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/barenaked+ladies/7+8+9_20831374.html ]
Once upon a time in our solar system
We couldn't make do without 9
But Pluto's not a planet now
So 8 will do fine

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
The Chinese will be out of luck
Vampires will have to think of some other method
'Cause without their K 9's how will they suck?
7 ate 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9, 7 ate 9, 7 ate 9
Oh, 7 ate 9
