Take your taxes and just leave

Vienna ES:
Hello Fractions - parody of Hello by Adele
Verse 1
Hello, it’s fraction time
Did you know that fractions have a horizontal line?
Take your time to double check
Cuz’ if you are a lazy bum then it will be a terrible train wreck.
Verse 2
Hello, can you help me?
I’m having trouble multiplying fractions, I’m gonna flunk you see
Area models define stupidity
If changing the mixed number doesn’t work, Mr. Abbott, I’m gonna scream
Pre-Chorus
There’s such a difference between mixed
And improper fractions
Chorus
You need fractions in your life
You must’ve learned to multiply
Way up high in the sky is the numerator
Low underground is the denominator
Piece of cake!
Verse 3
Hello, I got to chop
Improper fractions have the bigger number on the top
And on the bottom
There’s a smaller number which makes it such a difficult problem
Pre-Chorus
There’s such a difference between mixed
And improper fractions
Chorus
I multiply fractions in math
Don’t want to face the teacher’s wrath
To tell you I’m sorry factors are multiplied
When we are finished make sure to simplify
Chorus
You need fractions in your life
You must’ve learned to multiply
Way up high in the sky is the numerator
Low underground is the denominator
Piece of cake!
