I'm Talkin' Pemdas

You're sittin' in math with a heart attack
A string of computations you don't start from front to back
Wishing that your teacher would cut you some slack
Not your fault you were moved to the back of the class

Hey kid, now here's what you do
Listen to this song and follow one simple rule
Just memorize the words that I'm singin' to you
And you'll look back on yourself and you'll feel like a fool

PEMDAS parentheses are P
Perform all those before anything please
Then your E exponents on the top like trees
Soaring high above the other operations--can't you see?
PEMDAS multiply and divide
Got your M and your D don't skip 'em don't be shy
Your PEMDAS now what's the A and the S?
Well that's addition and subtraction save the best for last
I'm talking PEMDAS--oh yeah

P to the E M D the A the S
I'm just telling you mathematics ain't worth the stress
Follow the order of the letters I said
It's not left to right it's not right to left

P to the E to the M to the DAS
You'll be the coolest kid in your math class
Solving these equations and you'll have a good laugh
Now don't forget the cause you're having a blast
