"One!" lyric © 2011 Lawrence M. Lesser

[may be sung to the tune of the Edward Kleban and Marvin Hamlisch song “One!” from A Chorus Line]

One . . . integer sensation! Thousands claim that 1 is grand.             
One . . . side is on the surface of a Möbius band.

One is an entity needed to make base 2.
It’s in identities of trig and Euler, too!

One…. by the law of Benford,
Happens more than all the rest,
Number one is second best to none, son.
This line  takes up one dimension!
Like an MAA convention,
Number 1!
