Henry Krieger - One Plus One Equals Three lyrics

[BUDDY] I never sought the spotlight I stayed behind the scenes But then I met a sweetheart Who changed my old routines She put me in the spotlight Now I'm a happy pup And when I count my blessings I find they all add up to: One plus one equals three My baby, her sister and me This is not what I expected But my baby is well-connected You can see why I elected This arithmetic with an odd key Where one plus one equals three Some guys wonder how it'll work Some women titter and smirk "Ha ha ha ha" All their questions will be resolved I've got the problem solved It's one plus one One plus one One plus one [DAISY & VIOLET] We've always been a duo [DAISY] A twosome who's compact [DAISY & VIOLET] But we're happy to welcome [VIOLET] An addition to our act [DAISY] He's Violet's intended [BUDDY] I'm the lucky one [VIOLET] I'm the one who's lucky [BUDDY, DAISY & VIOLET] Ain't we having fun! [BUDDY] We're planning a big wedding For each and ev'ry friend Consider this your invitation [DAISY & VIOLET] Hope you will attend [BUDDY, DAISY & VIOLET] Big day will be coming up soon Big wedding [BUDDY & VIOLET] Small honeymoon [BUDDY, DAISY & VIOLET] For the moment We thought we'd do This preview just for you [VALE SISTERS] Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo Ooo-ooo-ooo [DAISY, VIOLET & VALE SISTERS] Hey there, professor Won't you answer, "Yes," sir! How's about a lesson in your new kind of math? [BUDDY] Well, one plus one equals...? [DAISY, VIOLET & VALE SISTERS] That's gotta be Gotta be three [VIOLET] His baby [DAISY] Her sister [BUDDY] And don't forget me [VALE SISTERS] It's not your average equation Not your standard occasion [BUDDY] Uh-uh! No sir! [BUDDY] With a little persuasion How ha-ha-ha-ha-happy we'll be When one plus one [DAISY, VIOLET & VALE SISTERS] Plus one [BUDDY] One plus one [DAISY, VIOLET & VALE SISTERS] What fun [BUDDY] One plus one Means my baby [VIOLET] I'm his baby [VALE SISTERS] His baby [BUDDY] Her sister [DAISY] I'm his baby's sister [VALE SISTERS] His baby's sister and [BUDDY] And me [VALE SISTERS] That equals [VIOLET] And me [VALE SISTERS] That equals [DAISY] And me [VALE SISTERS] That equals [BUDDY, DAISY, VIOLET & VALE SISTERS] Equals three
