Tall Tremendous Tens and Wee Wonderful Ones

Hubert groaned at his homework
As he struggled with problems like these:
If one dog had 10 fleas and one dog had 12 fleas
Please, how many fleas would there be?"
He scratched his head and frowned
When suddenly from his closet came this sound
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Two tall tremendous tens and two wee wonderful ones
Came marching out and circled 'round his room
As they bounced across his bed, lights went on in Hubert’s head
In a flash he knew the answer to the quiz
Two tall tremendous tens and two wee wonderful ones, the answer is…22
Then back in the closet they marched and quickly shut the door
Hubert hollered, «Hey, can you help me solve one more?»
«How many legs on 10 cows and 2 horses?»
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Four tall tremendous tens and 8 wee wonderful ones
Came marching out and circled 'round his room
As they bounced across his bed, lights went on in Hubert’s head
In a flash he knew the answer to the quiz
Four tall tremendous tens and 8 wee wonderful ones, the answer is…48
Then back in the closet they marched and quickly shut the door
Hubert hollered, «Hey, can you help me solve one more?»
How many wheels on 12 bicycles and 3 tricycles?
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Three tall tremendous tens and 3 wee wonderful ones
Came marching out and circled 'round his room
As they bounced across his bed, lights went on in Hubert’s head
In a flash he knew the answer to the quiz boom, boom, boom
Three tall tremendous tens and 3 wee wonderful ones, the answer is…33
Now Hubert does his homework every night with tons of fun
With help from tall tremendous tens and wee wonderful ones
