Here's the lyrics to the Philippines' Englist to Metric Song:

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


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Let's 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 keep it in mind*


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For you to multiply that with five over nine,


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

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 (the system of metric is)


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The system of metric is better!
