He don't play football, golf or guitar
He's never been on Sullivan, Clark or Paar
He's just not important, 'cause he ain't a star
He's just a scientist, oh oh, just a scientist, hey hey,
Just a scientist, mmm mmm, just a scientist, that's all
Now, all the games are won by big and brawny half-backs
And marshals find the rustlers by their horse's tracks
But who is gonna get us to the moon and back?
He'll be a scientist, hey hey, just a scientist
Oh yeah, just a scientist, just a scientist, that's all
Everybody's flippin' over Fabian or Frankie Avalon
But nobody ever seems to give a flip
Over Doctor Werner von Braun
Cause he's just a scientist, yeah, just a scientist
Just a scientist, just a scientist, that's all
Now, all that we remember is that Cadillac
That knocked us out and made us gawk
We done forgot about that polio shot
Invented by Dr Salk,
Cause he's just a scientist, oh yeah, he's just a scientist
Just a scientist, just a scientist, just a scientist, that's all
