Hey, anybody seen Seven?
"Who?"
Seven.
"I don’t…who?"
You do know who I’m talking about, right?
"Uh…no."
Seven!
Have you seen him go,
When you’re looking out the window?
On the avenue with nothing to do,
Seven, you’re a superstar. (x2)
You know Seven? Seven’s my dude,
Seven is the kind of guy who’s never rude.
You’ll find him whenever you find 7 and 0,
Or 6 + 1, or 5 + 2,
Or 4 + 3, take it from me.
Seven’s walking up and down all the streets, See?
0 + 7, that’s him too,
Or 1 + 6, yeah, that’s true.
Seven’s there with 2 + 5,
And 3 + 4 makes him come alive.
Yeah, Seven's lucky, so to speak,
Seven days a week,
He’s sailing the seven seas.
See, he’s my hero, he’s 7 + 0,
Always fun, he’s 6 + 1.
He’s so alive, he’s 2 + 5,
Never boring me, he’s 4 + 3.
Have you seen him go,
When you’re looking out the window?
On the avenue with nothing to do,
Seven, you’re a superstar. (x2)
And what if we want to subtract?
That’s all good,
We’ll take it right back.
