Lyrics
Sing Along Now!
CHORUS:
Weights and measures, everyone can measure
A dimension, volume and a weight
Start to measure with an inch - It's an inch of measurement
Twelve inches make a foot - Make a ruler with a foot
Three feet make a yard - 1, 2, 3 feet in a yard
Five and one half yards, a rod - Hip Hurrah we have a rod
Forty rods, a furlong - That's how far we've come along
Eight furlongs make a mile - you can walk it in a while
It's a customary way - to measure in the USA
Length and (Length and) - Measures (Measures)
(CHORUS)
A fluid ounce in a space - Filling up an empty place
Four ounces make a gill - Space is something that you fill
Four gills make a pint - Filling up a glass tonight
Two pints make a quart - Double that and give me more
Four quarts make a gallon - 1,2,3,4 in a gallon
Fill a space where there is room - Measuring liquid volume
Liquid (Liquid) - Measures (Measures)
(CHORUS)
Starting with a dram of weight - A small amount to calculate
Sixteen drams make an ounce - That is still a small amount
Sixteen ounces make a pound - You can lift a pound around
A hundred pounds, a hundredweight - Is heavier to relocate
Two thousand pounds make a ton - A heavy load for anyone
On a scale you calculate - Anything that has some weight
Weights and (Weights and) - Measures (Measures)
(CHORUS)
