Lyrics:
42
Give me five or ten
Give me eleven, give me fifteen and twenty-three
Yeah, I love numbers and really love it when you keep throwing them at me
You scream "five-eight you, five -uckin' eight you"
And I say "thanks you're my 42"
I love how you understand me
But when you said I'm a zero I got hurt 'cause I love you
I just want to have you near, oh you're the one, my 42
Without you I'm only a fraction, lost and blue
So when you said I'm a zero I got hurt 'cause I love you
42
Give me five or ten
Give me eleven, give me fifteen and twenty-three
Yeah, I love numbers and
Really love it when you keep throwing them at me
You scream "good five, four good"
And I say "yeah, four and five are good"
I love how you understand me
But when you said I'm a zero I got hurt 'cause I love you
I just want to have you near, oh you're the one, my 42
42
3.14159265
Dinner's ready girl, it's true
I made a pie for you
42, 42, 42, 2, 2!
Solo
But when you said I'm a zero I got hurt 'cause I love you
I just want to have you near, oh you're the one, my 42
Without you I'm only a fraction, lost and blue
So when you said I'm a zero I got hurt 'cause I love you
I love you, 42, yeah, yeah!
42

Recorded on February 1st, 2010, in the same studio as the original 25 years earlier (Henson Recording Studios, formerly A&M Recording Studios) "We Are The World 25 For Haiti", in which Jones and Richie serve as executive producers and producers, was created in collaboration with executive producers Wyclef Jean, Randy Phillips and Peter Tortorici; producers Humberto Gattica and RedOne; and co-producers Rickey Minor, Mervyn Warren and Patti Austin to benefit the Haitian earthquake relief efforts and the rebuilding of Haiti.
Academy Award-winning writer-director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby), whose own personal efforts as well as those of Artists for Peace and Justice have already saved countless lives in Haiti, filmed the private recording session to create the accompanying video and behind-the-scenes production, and serves as Film Director and as an Executive Producer with Jones, Richie, Jean, Phillips and Tortorici.
The 25th Anniversary recording features over 80 artists and performers. The recording of We Are The World 25 For Haiti embodied the same enthusiasm, sense of purpose and generosity as the original recording 25 years ago. Every one of the artists who participated, regardless of genre or generation, walked into the room with their hearts and souls completely open to coming together to help the people of Haiti.
