Rokit Scyntist

I never went to school, but I ain't no fool
I can tie my shoe and hold a pen
write my name and count to ten
can you ?

When I was 23, my mama said to me
son sit on my knee, I'll teach you a, b, c
d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v
w, x, y, zee

I'm a rokit scyntist, I'll spell that for ye
r.o.k.i.t.s.c.y.
n.t.i.s.t

I never had a job, but I ain't no slob
I can dig a hole and shovel coal
Got a mind that's weak and a back that's strong
have you ?

I can walk a dog and I can feed a hog
push a broom around a yard, chase a chicken 'til it's tired
can you ?

I'm a rokit scyntist and I live in a rubber room
count my steps from left to right
I won't be out too soon

I got no i.q., my brain cells are few
but that don't bother me, cos rocket science is easy
take a ton of dynamite
wrap it up neat and tight
pack it in a tube
put a man in a cube
sit him on top
and light the fuse
ok ?

I've been on t.v., a documentary
I'm famous you see, I'm a big celebrity
Baikonur, Houston T,
at lift off time that's where I'll be
cos I'm
the countdown man
the countdown man
the countdown man

I'm a rokit scyntist, I'm the countdown man
10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4, 3, 2, 1

I'm a rokit scyntist, I'll spell that for ye
r.o.k.i.t.s.c.y.
n.t.i.s.t

I'm a rokit scyntist and I live in a rubber room
count my steps from left to right
I won't be out too soon
