Lyrics & Music by: Bob Dorough

Good, good, good, good, the good eleven, yeah
It's almost as easy as multiplyin' by one.
Good, good, good, good eleven. (Mmm)
Yes, eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
Some people get up at a quarter till seven,
Other people lie abed till 8:45 or 9.
But I'm happy just to hang in there till 11,
'Cause eleven has always been a friend of mine.
Good, good, good, good eleven,
Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
Good, good, good, good eleven. (Mmm)
Eleven will always be a friend of mine.
Now, when you get a chance to multiply by eleven (eleven, Yeah!),
It's almost as easy as multiplying by one.
You don't even have to use a pencil when you use eleven,
And eleven almost makes multiplication fun.
You know why? (Yeah!)
Because you get those funny looking
double-digit doogies as an answer.
Like 22, 33, 44, and 55.
66, 77, 88, and 99 is your answer

When you multiply 11 by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
Good, good, good, good, good eleven,
Never gave me any trouble till after nine.
Good, good, good, good eleven, (Mmm)
I can always get that answer easy every time.
Now 11 x 10 is the same as 10 x 11 (10 x 11),
It's 110 no matter what you do.
And 121 is the answer to 1 1 x 1 1,
And 11 x 12 is 132.
11 13's are 143, now. (That's 1-4-3)
11 14's are 154. (Dig it, it's 1-5-4)
1-6-5 and 1-7-6 are 15 and 16.
You better pick up on the pattern,
'Cause I ain't got time to tell you any more.
I've got a date with the good eleven.
She never gave me any trouble till after nine.
(Good,good,good,good)
Good, g-g-g-g-good, eleven. (Mmm)
Yes, eleven will always be a friend of mine.
