Lyrics

Anton Leeuwenhoek was Dutch.
He sold pincushions, cloth, and such.
He worked, instead of tending store
at making special lenses for
A microscope
A microscope

Albert Einstein seeking work
Without a lab, a patent clerk,
The answer to his fiscal bind?
experiments inside his mind
Albert E.
Imagined solid mass as energy

Before his time (He jumped so high)
After his time (He really touched the sky)

Leeuwenhoek and Albert E. were riding in the park
caught inside a photograph of light till after dark
They jumped so very high (but what a cost)
They really touched the sky (From Hiroshima to Glasnost)

they paid their 50 cents
to see the elephant
they saw the elephant, they saw the elephant.
they paid their 50 cents
to see the elephant
(Nuclear Waste and solar power machines)
(Bioweapons and Vaccines)
they saw the elephant, they saw the elephant.
Before his time (they jumped so high)
After his time (they touched the sky)
they paid their 50 cents
to see the elephant
(repeat)
