My Hero, Zero
You`re such a funny little Hero
But until you came along, we counted on our fingers and toes!
Now you`re here to stay, but nobody really knows
How wonderful you are,
Why, you could never reach a star
Without you, Zero, my Hero, how wonderful you are
How wonderful you are
Ya place a Zero after one, and ya got yourself a ten
(see how important that is!)
When ya run out of digits, you can start all over again
(see how convenient that is!)
That`s why with only ten digits, including Zero
You can count as high as you could ever go
Forever, to what`s infinity
No one ever gets there, but you could try!
With ten billion Zero`s
From the Cavemen to the Heroes
Who invented you,
They counted on their fingers and toes
(And maybe some sticks and stones, rocks and bones, and neighbor`s
toes!)
But nobody really knows
How wonderful you are,
Why you could never reach a star
Without you, Zero, my Hero, how wonderful you are
How wonderful you are
If ya place a Zero after any number, that number goes by ten
(see how easy that is!)
If ya place two Zero`s after any number, and that number goes by a
hundred
(see how simple that is!)
With church, maybe you place six Zero`s after a number,
And I guess you`re goin` flat on the floor!
Etcetera, etcetera, add infinitum,
Add astra, forever,
And ever, with Zero, My Hero,
How wonderful you are!
