Tripod - Science Facts Are Useful lyrics

rate me

Well it doesn't take a genius to realise

being good at school

can be cool

put on your lab coats

boffins rule

(Nerd): I-I'd actually r-rather y-you don't u-use

the word boffin b-because i-if anything it means having sex

well there's nothing wrong with putting on your thinking cap

though your social skills

may be crap

you can impress with ease

cool facts

(Nerd): That Playstation you're playing at? Science made that.

That ghetto deck you're rapping off beats to? Science made that too.

Without science we wouldn't have cheap bathtub biker speed

Oh, science facts are useful

That's why they teach 'em to ya

you're teachers wouldn't screw ya

don't be a fool

The science school is cool

Well you may not see a scientist in rock and roll

but they understand

the mineral properties of rock

as well as the physics of roll

"Oh Mr. Scientist I burnt my handbone on a boiling water"

"How do you know it was boiling? Was it bubbling?"

"Er..no"

"Then it wasn't really boiling"

"I feel better already"

"GO SCIENCE!"

Help, help, I lost my ball bearing down the drain

Then get a magnet man

But it's a really deep drain

Then you'll need a really long magnet

"GO SCIENCE"

Oh, science facts are useful

That's why they teach 'em to ya

you're teachers wouldn't screw ya

don't be a fool

The science school is cool

Oh help Mr Scientist I need you again, how does a hot air balloon rise?

Because it's a HOT-AIR balloon

Oh

How do I deal with girls, and not feel awkward?

(long silence)

Did you know that the atomic structure of butter is not dissimilar to...

But.. but I was asking about

Margarine on the other hand

BREAK IT DOWN!

Oh, science facts are useful x4

(meanwhile Gatesy is talking in background)

Gatesy: Ok, rock and roll moment everyone!

Hold your lighters in the air!

But be careful because butane even when contained

in very small amounts is an extremely volatile gas

(oh science facts are useful)

Thanks to Isaac Newton we can crowd-surf!

(that's why they teach 'em to ya)

Bikini tops are a great invention!

Your teachers wouldn't screw ya

don't be a fool

the science school is cool....yaaa!
