Uh, oh this is spooooky...  Reminds me of:

This must thou ken:
Of one make ten,
Pass two, and then
Make square the three,
So rich thou'lt be.
Drop out the four!
From five and six,
Thus says the witch,
Make seven and eight.
So all is straight!
And nine is one,
And ten is none,
This is the witch's one-time-one!

Original

  §¥u mu¡¬t versteh'n!
   Aus Eins mach Zehn,
   Und Zwei la¡¬ geh'n,
   Und Drei mach gleich,
   So bist Du reich.
   Verlier die Vier!
   Aus Ff und Sechs,
   So sagt die Hex',
   Mach Sieben und Acht,
   So ist's vollbracht:
   Und Neun ist Eins,
   Und Zehn ist keins.
   Das ist das Hexen-Einmaleins!"
