Number nine will put you on the spot

C7          Eb9                  G7
Number nine will tie you up, oh, in a knot

D7
When you're trying

            C7
Multiplying by nine

G7
You might give it everything you've got

             C7
And still be stopped

You'll break your neck on Naughty number nine

G7
Now the first thing to keep in mind

C9
When you're multiplying by nine

G7
Is that it's one less than ten

G7
You see, nine is the same as ten minus one

C9
So you could multiply your number by ten

C7
And then subtract the number from the result

G7
And you'd get the same product
As if you'd multiplied by nine And you knew it
        D7
I mean, eight times nine is 80 minus eight

    C9
And seven times nine is 70 minus seven

G7
And six times nine is 60 minus six

C7
You could use those tricks

G7                    Cm7        EbMaj7    Em7b5
Because you must have some secret way you can beat it

F9      F#9
Or else you'll meet it

G7           Ab7
Of course, it doesn't hurt

G7
To know the table of nines by memory

D7
It goes like this:

G7                    C7                      G7
One times nine is nine, and two times nine is 18

 G7
(Mean ol' number nine)

 C7                     Eb9                    G7
Three times nine is 27, and four times nine is 36

D7                     C7
Five times nine is 45, and six times nine is 54

And seven times nine is 63

Eight times nine is 72, and nine times nine is 81

F9             F#9    G7
And ten times nine is 90

G7                   Ab7
Now the digit sum is always equal to nine

I mean, if you add two and seven, the digits

F9
You get nine, the digit sum

       Ab7
That's true of any product of nine

A9                    D7
If they don't add up, you've made a mistake
