Graphing Song Lyrics

Twelve cat owners were asked

What color is your cat

Is it gray, brown, white, or black

They made a first draft of a bar graph

And that's what we're looking at

One axis on the graph shows the number of cats

The other axis tells us if they're gray, brown, white, or black

And now we can compare each group of cats there

Like the fact that there are two more gray cats than black

On a bar graph, the data there

Can be put together, taken apart, or compared

Picture graphs can show the same data you see

Except with pictures and a key

The safari guide was asked, where are the most giraffes

In the water, by the trees, or on the grass

He drew them up a draft of a picture graph

And that's what we're looking at

One axis on the graph shows the number of giraffes

The other tells us if they're in the water, by the trees, or on the grass

And now we can compare all the tall giraffes there

And see there's one giraffe more by the trees than on the grass

On a bar graph, the data there

Can be put together, taken apart, or compared

Picture graphs can show the same data you see

Except with pictures and a key

Let's look at a bar graph showing all of the giraffes

In the water, by the trees, or on the grass

And see that every time we craft any type of bar graph

We label the axes and write a title on each draft

And it shows us, that in all, ten giraffes are standing tall

On a warm summer day in Senegal, roaming the plains by calm seas

Eating fruits, flowers, and leaves, from different species of Acacia trees

On a bar graph, the data there

Can be put together, taken apart, or compared

Picture graphs can show the same data you see

Except with pictures and a key
