This song is available on Music Learn's Middle School Math Music.

D-di-viding decimals, got to give it to me, D,
D-di-viding decimals, come and follow along with me.

The divisor is the number on the outside,
And the dividend’s the number on the end, [on the end]
The divisor is doing the dividing,
Cuts up the number that we call the dividend, [dividend].

D-di-viding decimals, got to give it to me, D,
D-di-viding decimals, come and follow along with me.

What to do when the divisor is a dec-i-mal?
Take your pencil, move the decimal to the right, [to the right]
And whatever you do to the divisor,
Do to the dividend to make it all right, [all right].

Whatever you do to the divisor you do to the dividend, [dividend, dividend].
Whatever you do to the divisor you do to the dividend, [dividend, dividend].

D-di-viding decimals, got to give it to me, D,
D-di-viding decimals, come and follow along with me.

Now there’s no more decimal on the outside,
But the dividend has got a decimal there. [decimal there]
Put the dec-i-mal straight up into the quotient,
Now everybody wave your hands up in the air!

Say it with me!
Whatever you do to the divisor you do to the dividend, [dividend, dividend].
Whatever you do to the divisor you do to the dividend, [dividend, dividend].

Repeat the entire song
