English to Metric Conversion

It’s easy to change from English to metric

The secret is fun if you know it
So let’s all convert from English to metric
We’ll do it and share it and show it.
Just multiply inches by 2.54, and you will get centimeters
The feet multiplied by .305 will give you equivalent meters
Just multiply pounds by .45, and you’ll get kilograms, it’s true
The gallons by 3.79 will turn into liters for you.
Subtract 32 from degrees Fahrenheit, the result bear it in mind (why?)
You just multiply that by 5 over 9, and you’ll get Celsius just fine
The yards and the miles are things of the past
Use meters and go kilometers
So out with the English, we’re modern at last
The system of metric is better
