E7/D    Cm7/D                Dm7
Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand,

E7/D
He'd also have

Cm7/D             Dm7                E7/D
12 toes or so the theory goes. Well, with twelve

       Cm7/D
Digits, I mean

         Dm7
Fingers, he probably would have invented two more
Digits when he
        E7/D    Cm7/D     Dm7
Invented his number system. Then, if he saved the zero
For the end,
E7/D               Cm7/D              Dm7
He could count and multiply by twelve just as easily as

E7/D
You and I do
By ten.
E7/D                     Cm7/D
Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand,

Dm7
He'd probably

        E7/D                  Cm7/D
Count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

Dm7
Nine, dek, el,

           E7/D           Cm7/D
Doh. "Dek" and "el" being two entirely new signs

Dm7
Meaning ten and

        E7/D           Cm7/D            Dm7
Eleven. Single digits! And his twelve, "doh", would be
Written 1-0.
E7/D              Cm7/D                  Dm7    C7sus4
Get it? That'd be swell, for multiplying by 12.
[Verse 1]
Gm7        C13                       FM7
Hey little twelvetoes, I hope you're well.

Fm7     Bb13                  EbM7
Must be some far-flung planet where you dwell.

Em7b5                A7           Dm
If we were together, you could be my cousin,

                       BbMaj7
Down here we call it a dozen.

A7
Hey little twelvetoes, please come back home.
Interlude Same as Intro Now if man had been born with 6 fingers on each hand, His children Would have 'em too. And when they played hide-and-go- Seek they'd Count by sixes fast. And when they studied piano, They'd do their Six-finger exercises. And when they went to school, They'd learn the Golden rule, and how to multiply by twelve easy: just Put down a Zero. But me, I have to learn it the hard way. Lemme see now: [Bridge]

Some of us ten-toed folks are still surviving.

If you help me with my twelves, I'll help you with your
Tens.
