¹ Teaching folks is such delight
When they realize
The value of their learning
As new things do arise

² It sure has been my pleasure
Discovering new things
That men have searched for centuries
What delight that surly brings

³ For millenniums, and maybe more
They’ve searched for something new
That holds the Universe together
What is its basic glue?

⁴ For years they thought it’s gravity
That held things all together
But they didn’t know just how it worked
Like lead or like a feather

⁵ Even Newton didn’t know
He called it “action at a distance”
But eventually we got it right
It just took some persistence

⁶ But—
The answers never came to them
Of course I don’t know why
Maybe circumstances weren’t just right
For the right principles to apply

⁷ But now it’s all available
This knowledge that they sought
Maybe I could find it, ‘cause
It contradicts the things they taught.

⁸Anyway—
Science is developing
We don’t know all of it
But we keep on probing
‘till we see how all things fit.

⁹ It is a work in progress
We try with all our might
To find out how it all does work
To bring us such delight.

¹⁰ However—
when we know such things
It does, and surly should
Produce a responsibility
To use only for man’s good

¹¹ Science isn’t good or bad
It’s the people who use it
So I hope that you will find
What goodness will permit

¹² So I’ve made it easy
I hope it will excite
The inquisitive ones who look for it
