Order of Operations Rap Song by Mr. W

I wrote this as a way to impress upon my students that the Order of Operations is extremely important and that they cannot be reliant upon a calculator to do the work for them. This is especially true in Algebra, they will have to do the inverse of these operations.

The lyrics:
We read, from left to right, like this: "The Bird Takes Flight."
But doing that in Math will get you treated, defeated, mad, and overheated.
You need the O of O's; the Order of Operations.

First you do the groupings, parentheses, fraction bars, and inside little root things.
Next comes exponents, you gotta own it, I wish it was the way my money was a growin.
Don't cry, multiply divide left to right, so I mark it right and then add subtract but don't disrespect,
you might subtract then add. And don't get mad about my killin' rhymes. I should be billin' time.
You got the Dub for free, listen to me, teaching bout the O of O's.
