(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 think 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 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 otta be a law
There otta 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 Thunder Bird
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
