Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Two sets standing face to face, measuring their size
Alice maps to Bob completely, each element finds its place
One-to-one but not exhaustive, arrows pointing right
Bob sends functions back to Alice, mirroring the sight

[Chorus]
If A fits into B, and B fits into A
Then they're exactly equal, that's what mathematicians say
Injection both directions means bijection lives between
Cantor-Bernstein-Schröder, the theorem reigns supreme
No need to build the bridge direct, just prove the paths exist
Two one-way streets become a highway, paradox dismissed

[Verse 2]
Infinite hotels cause confusion, guests in endless rows
Hilbert's puzzles seem impossible when intuition grows
But this theorem cuts through chaos, brings order to the strange
Equal cardinalities emerge from injection's range

[Chorus]
If A fits into B, and B fits into A
Then they're exactly equal, that's what mathematicians say
Injection both directions means bijection lives between
Cantor-Bernstein-Schröder, the theorem reigns supreme
No need to build the bridge direct, just prove the paths exist
Two one-way streets become a highway, paradox dismissed

[Bridge]
Constructive proof eludes us, but existence is enough
When mapping seems impossible, this theorem calls the bluff
Three names upon the banner, their legacy remains
Comparing vast infinities through logical chains

[Chorus]
If A fits into B, and B fits into A
Then they're exactly equal, that's what mathematicians say
Injection both directions means bijection lives between
Cantor-Bernstein-Schröder, the theorem reigns supreme

[Outro]
Sets that seemed unequal, now we know they match
Bidirectional injections, that's the perfect catch
