One is the Likeliest Number

Lyric © 2007 by Lawrence Mark Lesser
May sing to the tune of "One" (Harry Nilsson)

One is the likeliest number that you'll ever view.
Two's the next most likely one --
It's the likeliest number since the number 1
Benford's the oddest law you'll ever know
Frequency falls as the digits grow
'Cause one is the likeliest number that you'll ever view
One is the likeliest number, more than two

BRIDGE: They came and took our head accountant away
They caught his fraud using Benford's law yesterday

One is the likeliest number, one is the likeliest number
One is the likeliest number that you'll ever view
One is the likeliest, one is the likeliest
One is the likeliest from a power rule

They came and took our head accountant away

(Number) one is the likeliest (Number) one is the likeliest
(Number) one is the likeliest number that you'll ever view
(Number) one is the likeliest (Number) one is the likeliest
(Number) one is the likeliest number that you'll ever view
