Gatesy:
|
Well, it doesn't take a genius to realise,
|
|
|
Being good at school can be cool.
|
|
|
Put on your lab coats, boffins rule!
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
(Stammering) Umm... umm... I'd actually rather you didn't use the word "boffin", 'cause if anything it means "having sex".
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy and Scod:
|
There's nothing wrong with putting on your thinking cap,
|
|
|
Though your social skills may be crap.
|
|
|
You can impress with these cool facts:
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
That Playstation you're playing at - science made that!
|
|
Scod:
|
That Ghettodeck you're rapping off the beats to - science made that too!
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Without science, we wouldn't have cheap bathtub biker speed!
|
|
|
|
|
Tripod:
|
Oh, science facts are useful,
|
|
|
That's why they teach 'em to ya.
|
|
|
Your teachers wouldn't screw ya,
|
|
|
Don't be a fool,
|
|
|
The science school is cool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, you may not see a scientist do Rock and Roll,
|
|
|
But they understand the mineral properties of rock.
|
|
|
As well as the physics of roll.
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Oh, Mr. Scientist, I burnt my hand bone on a boiling water!
|
|
Yon:
|
How do you know it was boiling? Was it bubbling?
|
|
Scod:
|
Uhh... no.
|
|
Yon:
|
Then it wasn't really boiling.
|
|
Scod:
|
I feel better already.
|
|
Tripod:
|
GO SCIENCE!
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
Help, help! I lost my ball bearing down the drain!
|
|
Yon:
|
Then get a magnet, man.
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But it's a really deep drain.
|
|
Yon:
|
Then you'll need a really long magnet.
|
|
Tripod:

Scod:

Oh help, Mr. Scientist, I need you again!
|
|
|
How does a hot air balloon rise?
|
|
Yon:
|
Because it's a HOT AIR balloon.
|
|
Scod:
|
Ohh.
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
How do I deal with girls and not feel awkward?
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Pause)
|
|
|
|
|
Yon:
|
Did you know that the atomic structure of butter is not dissimilar to...
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But... but... but... I was asking about gir...
|
|
Yon:
|
Margarine, on the other hand...
|
|
|
|
|
Scod:
|
Break it down!

Okay, everybody, rock and roll moment! Hold your lighters in the air!

Yon and Scod:
|
(Clapping) Oh, science facts are useful...
|
|
|
Oh, science facts are useful...
|
|
|
|
|
Gatesy:
|
But be careful because butane, even when contained in very small amounts, is an extremely volatile gas.
|

Yon and Scod:

Oh, science facts are useful...
