Why binary in eighths you ask?
Binary in eighths is how you mask.
They get carried in some windows you store,
It will not carry sevens, nines or fours.
And every one is in binary (Binary)
There's also room for zero in this plan (This plan)
It's an eight bit mask, it's binary,
Binary in eighths a mask.

Second byte move from the right

Read binary in eight bit scan,
Binary in eight bits can expand.
Compute your tally from the bits you store,
Then you can tally bits like two times four.
Count every one that's in binary, (Binary)
But you never count a zero they don't span. (Don't span)
It's an eight bit span in binary,
Binary's an eight bit scan.

That's binary in eight bit scan,
Double up to eight and then expand.
You can tally up like two times four,
Compute that tally seven times then store.
It's so much fun doin' binary, (Binary)
You shouldn't have to worry how it spans. (It spans)
It's an eight bit RAM, in memory,
Memory in eight bit spans.

Bi-nar-y is why,
Memory (Binary)
Binary (Memory)
Binary's an eight bit span you scan,
Memory's in eighths in RAM.
