Lyrics:
Any whole with equal sized parts
Like a pie, brownies, or a chart
Can be split into fractions to help you find
The parts that you want and the parts you left behind
Whether it’s made of shapes or numbers
There’s a number on top and a number under

1 whole, 1 half, 1 third,
1 fourth, or a quarter, whatever’s preferred
1 fifth, 1 sixth, 1 seventh,
1 eighth, 1 ninth, 1 tenth, 1 eleventh
Twelfths: “Um, hey! What about me?”
And 1 twelfth

The denominator is down
It tells the total number of pieces around
Then the numerator calls out
The number of parts that you’re talkin’ about

2 wholes, 2 halves, 2 thirds,
2 fourths, or quarters, whatever’s preferred
2 fifths, 2 sixths, 2 sevenths,
2 eighths, 2 ninths, 2 tenths, and 2 elevenths
Twelfths: “Yea, I’m… still here.”
And as high as you want to go!

The denominator is down
It tells the total number of pieces around
Then the numerator calls out
The number of parts that you’re talking about

3 wholes, 3 halves, 3 thirds,
3 fourths, or quarters, whatever’s preferred
3 fifths, 3 sixths, 3 sevenths,
3 eighths, 3 ninths, 3 tenths, and 3 elevenths

Everyone:
And 3 twelfths
