My first D6 was small and white that I rescued from Monopoly.
My first D12 was big and red that I found in a Dollar Tree.
It was on sale.
My first complete basic set I bought at a gaming con
and then I dove in headfirst to a sea of plastic polygons

They say a basic set is really all you need
But they underestimate the power of dicey greed.

I need more clicky clacky math rocks.
Clicky clacky math rocks.
Oh, shout it once, shout it twice.
I will never not need a lot more dice.
Clicky clacky math rocks.
Clicky clacky math rocks.

I've acquired so many dice they make up my home decor.
My walls are all D6 and I've got D4s in the floor
That's worse than Legos.
All the furniture's D8s and 12s that I had glued down
And when I'm feeling fancy got a sparkly D20 crown
Just call me Princess Dicias.
I was admiring my collection when the whole shelf fell on me,
you know I took a giant blow of 438, D6 +3

Oh, shout it once, shout it twice.
I will never not need a lot more dice.

I don't even need to roll them.
They're glittery works of art.
Those random number plastic bits
Rolled their way into my heart.

Except this one.
It's out to get me.
We call that one Bruno.
We don't talk about Bruno.

My favorite set never lets me down.
I call him mighty Magic Blue.
When the situation's dire he never rolls a two.
He erased the two.
They've seen me through happy times and through some dungeons dark.
They even rolled my way to ride a giant mutated shark
With frickin laserbeams on its head.

Do I need this math rock?
Turns out the dice says yes.
Do I need the one that glows in the dark?
Yeah critical success!

Now roll a perception check.
Will this song be funny?
I roll my Magic Blue and it comes up natural 20.
Hey, the dice don't lie.
You can't really argue with the dice.
