@cbsteffen that's the point, it's monotonous and the beat falls on an off word, it signifies the boredom and discomfort of their schoolday.

The tune (or rather, the strange melancholy harmony of the Inchworm song with the children's voices) is so beautiful, so brief and so perpetually haunting. I heard this as a child on an old, old LP and it's engraved deep down among the cradle songs.

The lyrics I know are " 2 &2 are 4, 4 & 4 r 8, that's all you have on your business like mind."

@FortOrdRecUsers we are adding two numbers '2 and 2' plural 'are'.
@creaturebotman Is it really just about a worm and math? What this song says to Me is that so many of us go through life working so hard as the years fly by, worrying about things beyond our control that we to rarely take the time to stop and notice just how wonderful life is until were about to lose it. Thus it's a sad true thought that seems to ring through this melody. It seems somewhat subconscious maybe.
