Counting Toward Infinity
A counting song that scales from one through ten, hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions — and lands on the punchline that infinity always has one more.
I started counting up to infinity One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, TEN! Ten tens make a hundred, ten hundreds make a thousand When will all the counting end?
Infinity! It means there's always more! No biggest number, no final score! 'Cause infinity is the idea that there is always a number higher You can count and count and count but the numbers never tire!
A thousand! Then ten thousand! One hundred thousand, whoa! A million is a thousand thousands—watch the numbers grow! A billion's thousand millions, and a trillion after that A quadrillion, quintillion—how do you like that?
Infinity! It means there's always more! No biggest number, no final score! 'Cause infinity is the idea that there is always a number higher You can count and count and count but the numbers never tire!
I counted for a minute, then an hour, then a day I counted for a week and then a month along the way I counted for a year, a hundred years, a thousand more But infinity just keeps on going—that's what it's for!
Infinity! It means there's always more! No biggest number, no final score! 'Cause infinity is the idea that there is always a number higher You can count and count and count but the numbers never tire!
Eight billion people live on Earth—imagine if we tried To count together all at once with everyone worldwide! We'd shout out giant numbers, the biggest ever said But infinity would still be there, stretching out ahead!
Infinity! It means there's always more! No biggest number, no final score! 'Cause infinity is the idea that there is always a number higher You can count and count and count but the numbers never stop!
