The last time I saw Molly
She was rocking on the subway
Strumming and singing her new math song
As the passengers sang along
The last time I saw Timothy
He was mixing at a dinner party
Telling a story of complex numbers
And circle wrapping functions
The next time that I see you
Help me laugh and sing and tell a story
Help flex my mind to a new height
See mathematics in a fresh new light
La la la-la-la-la, la la la-la-la-la
La la la-la-la-la, la la la-la-la-la

The last time I saw Alex
He was flexing his imagination
Picturing the sums of odd numbers
Seeing them as square tile patterns
The last time I saw Janette
She was designing a pen for her pet
Maximizing the area it bounded
Minimizing the perimeter all around it
The next time that I see you
I’ll laugh and sing and tell a story
Help flex your mind to a new height
See mathematics in a fresh new light
La la la-la-la-la, la la la-la-la-la
La la la-la-la-la, la la la-la-la-la
