Figure eight

is double four.

Figure four, is half of eight.



If you skate, you would be great,

If you could make a figure eight.

That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.



One times eight is two times four.

Four times four is two times eight.

If you skate upon thin ice,

You'd be wise, if you looked twice

Before you made another single move.



One times eight is eight, two times eight is 16

Three times eight is 24, four times eight is 32

And five times eight is 40, you know.



If you skate, you would be great,

If you could make a figure eight.

That's a circle that turns 'round upon itself.



Place it on its side and it's a symbol meaning infinity
