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

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#11    Em7
Because you must have some secret way you can beat it

D7
It goes like this:
G7                    C7                      G7
