Lyrics
T: what's that in the sky?
D: it's captain fraction!
CHORUSx2:
(T&D: what's that in the sky?
it's captain fraction!)
F: my name is captain fraction and i've come to the rescue
to save your mother, father, cousin, sister, brother, and nephew
ya better recognize the captain, i'm about to land
and i'mma bust a funky flow to make ya muffins understand
F: hi, i'm captain fraction.
i fly around all day teaching kids about fractions and the american
way.
but what's that on the ground?
T: hey dad, can i talk to you about something?
D: sure timmie, what is it?
T: well, i've been having this problem lately
D: you know timmie, as you grow older, your body goes through
changes...
T: huh? no, dad. that's not it. you see...
T: it was mikey's birthday and my friends and i were thinking
that we'd take him out to dinner and a movie on the weekend
there were 6 of us there but the bill was 32
how to divide it equally we didn't have a clue
we sat around awhile without taking any action
cause none of us knew how to solve a problem with a fraction
i paid the whole bill cause we finally had to go
my friends would like to pay me back but they don't know how much they
owe
D: Timothy, my boy, let me show you a few tricks
this is how, you divide, 32 by 6
32 goes above and 6 goes below
what's the next step little timmie, do you know?
T: shouldn't you reduce it to 16 over 3?
D: way to go, my super sweet math hommie yo G
you can divide or multiply the top of the fraction
as long as the bottom also gets a little action [same action]
T: but what is 16 thirds when it comes to dollars?
D: i got a mixed number that's gonna make ya holler
oh why the long face? there's no need to be scurd
golly gee, the answer's obviously 5 and a third
put yo hands up timmie, represent
one third of a buck is simply 33 cents
and that's the end of story, that's how much your friends owe
5 dollars 33 cents, yo
CHORUSx2
F: i see you're having trouble, i feel bad for you son
i got 99 problems but a fraction ain't one - (hit me)
when it comes to math i've got the magic touch
splitting the bill so you don't pay too much
you know how all those knuckleheads sit around in class
they think they're gonna last but you know they won't pass (T: hey!)
you cannot use fractions if you don't know the rules
how you gonna garden if you got no tools?
(come come on!)
denominator on the bottom, numerator on top
you may be really slow, but the beat don't stop
a reciprocal, is just a fraction flipped
like a blood, that suddenly turned to a crip
when you multipy fractions, you know how we do
like a green light, you run it straight through
but before you divide them, show em who's boss
flip the second one around, then multiply across
T: but what about addition? what about subtraction?
i really get confused when it comes to fractions
F: it's a little trickier, my little terminator
but all you need is a common denominator
combine the tops but don't touch the bottom
when you deal with fractions, you know you just gotta
remember what i taught and listen to your teachers
hey, you two, come out from behind the bleachers
MEN: thank you captain fraction
you have saved the day
F: i'm just doing my job sir
what can i say?
F: i'm always happy to help, a little chap like your son
D: thank you sir, but i got a question just one
D: how come you are so blinging, T: and we are so broke?
F: it's because i thought of putting, the lime in the coke (you nut)
CHORUSx2
