He's Just A Scientist

(Doo dee doo dee doo dee doo)

(Doo dee doo dee doo dee doo)



He don't play football, golf, or guitar

He's never been on Bandstand, Sullivan, or Parr

He's just not important, 'cause he ain't a star



(He's just a scientist)

He just fools around with bottles and tubes

(He's just a scientist)

He's so square, he's a cube

(He's just a scientist)

Big thick glasses

And he's bald

(He's just a scientist)

Ah that's all



All the games are won by big and brawny half-backs

And marshals find out rustlers by their horses' tracks

But who's gonna get us to the moon and back?



(He'll be a scientist)

I think it's inhumane

(Hey, just a scientist)

Sendin' those poor little monkeys up in that thing

(Yeah, just a scientist)

I think there oughta be a law

There oughta be a law

(He's just a scientist)

That's all



Everybody's flippin' over Fabian



Or Frankie Avalon

But nobody ever seems to give a flip

Over Dr. Werner von Braun



('cause he's just a scientist)

He's nobody's fool

(He's just a scientist)

Workin' on that slide rule

(He's just a scientist)

He's big and tall

(He's just a scientist)

Ah that's all



Now all that we remember is a Thunderbird

That knocked us out and made us go

But we done forgot about the polio shot

Invented by Dr. Salk



('cause he's just a scientist)

That's somethin I've got to get

(He's just a scientist)

I ain't got mine yet, either

(He's just a scientist)

But I guess we can wait till fall

(He's just a scientist)

Ah that's all



(Doo dee doo dee doo dee doo)



He's just a scientist



(Doo dee doo dee doo dee doo)



He's just a scientist



(Repeat and fade)
