Thats Mathematics — текст песни (Tom Lehrer)





To the tune of "thats entertainment."



Counting sheep

When youre trying to sleep,

Being fair

When theres something to share,

Being neat

When youre folding a sheet,

Thats mathematics!



When a ball

Bounces off of a wall,

When you cook

From a recipe book,

When you know

How much money you owe,

Thats mathematics!



How much gold can you hold in an elephants ear?

When its noon on the moon, then what time is it here?

If you could count for a year, would you get to infinity,

Or somewhere in that vicinity?



When you choose

How much postage to use,

When you know

Whats the chance it will snow,

When you bet

And you end up in debt,

Oh try as you may,

You just cant get away

From mathematics!



Andrew wiles gently smiles,

Does his thing, and voila!

Q.e.d., we agree,

And we all shout hurrah!

As he confirms what fermat

Jotted down in that margin,

Which couldve used some enlargin.



Tap your feet,

Keepin time to a beat,

Of a song

While youre singing along,

Harmonize

With the rest of the guys,

Yes, try as you may,

You just cant get away

From mathematics!
