I couldn't find Pete Seeger's great "We'll All Be A-doubling" in the DT so here it is.

Chorus:
We'll all be a-doubling, a-doubling, a-doubling
We'll all be a-doubling in thirty-two years.
We'll all be a-doubling, a-doubling, a-doubling
We'll all be a-doubling in thirty-two years.

Two times two is four!
Two times four is eight!
Two times eight is sixteen,
And the hour is getting late!

Two time sixteen is thirty-two
Twice that is sixty-four
Next comes a hundred and twenty-eight
And do you want to hear more.

Next comes two hyundred fifty-six
Twice that is five hundred and twelve
Next, one thousand twenty-four
Just figure it out yourself.

Next two thousand forty-eight
Then four thousand ninety-six
Eight thousand, one hundred ninety two
Some parent is a-looking sick.

Every eight generations
Multiply a thousand times
Sixteen makes it a million
Some people don't like this rhyme.

Give it another three hundred years
Your children number a billion
Keep doubling another millenium
You can have another quadriiooion.

For two thousand years we been praying
O Lord, deliver me please.
The Lord helps them that help themselves
We better get off our knees.

Either people are going to have to get smaller
Or the world's going to have to get bigger
Or there's a coulple other possibilities
I'll leave it to you to figger.

recorded by Pete Seeger on "God Bless The Grass" also printed in "Where have All the Flowers Gone" by Pete Seeger (1993); and "The Sierra Club Survival Songbook" 1971)
