"Big Science" lyrics

"Big Science"

Ooh coo coo, it's cold outside
Ooh coo coo, it's cold outside
Ooh coo coo, don't forget your mittens

Hey pal! How do I get to town from here?
And he said:
"Well, just take a right where they're going to build that new shopping mall
Go straight past where they're going to put in the freeway
And take a left at what's going to be the new sports center
And keep going until you hit the place where
They're thinking of building that drive-in bank
You can't miss it." And I said: "This must be the place"

Ooh coo coo. Golden cities. Golden towns
Golden cities. Golden towns
And long cars, in long lines and great big signs
And they all say: Hallelujah. Yodellayheehoo
Every man for himself. Ooh coo coo
Golden cities. Golden towns. Thanks for the ride

Big Science, Hallelujah
Big Science, yodellayheehoo

You know, I think we should put some mountains here
Otherwise, what are the characters going to fall off of?
And what about stairs? Yodellayheehoo. Ooh coo coo

Here's a man who lives a life of danger
Everywhere he goes, he stays a stranger
"Howdy stranger, mind if I smoke?"
And he said:
"Every man, every man for himself
Every man, every man for himself
All in favor say 'aye'"

Big Science, Hallelujah
Big Science, yodellayheehoo

"Hey, Professor, could you turn out the lights?"
Let's roll the film

Big Science, Hallelujah
Every man, every man for himself
Big Science, Hallelujah, yodellayheehoo
