Line up the decimals
When you are adding or subtracting
Line up the decimals
When you are adding or subtracting
You will discover
When one is ‘neath the other
The answer you get should be correct
So line up the decimals
When you add or subtract

Pad extra zeros
When you are needing equal places
Pad extra zeros
When you are needing equal places
When they’re in order
You can be bolder
That the answer you get should be correct
So pad extra zeros
When you add or subtract

When you are calculating
Make sure you’re right
If no mistakes you’re making
You are very bright

Line up the decimals
When you are adding or subtracting
Line up the decimals
When you are adding or subtracting
You will discover
When one is ‘neath the other
The answer you get should be correct
So line up the decimals
When you add or subtract
