Counting song

One inch,
Two inches,
Five inches,
Ten.
We got rid of imperial,
Heaven knows when.

One foot,
Two feet,
Nine feet ten.
Who uses metric?
Not us real men.

One metre,
Two metres,
Three metres,
Ten.
What type of mess,
Does a decimal make?

One litre,
Two litres,
Six litres, ten.
Mixed all together,
In one giant cake!
