Sam Cooke - (What A) Wonderful World
Don't know much about history,
don't know much biology.
Don't know much about a science book,
don't know much about the french I took.
But I do know that I love you,
and I know that if you love me, too,
what a wonderful world this would be.
Don't know much about geography,
don't know much trigonometry.
Don't know much about algebra,
don't know what s slide rule is for.
But I know that one and one is two,
and if this one could be with you,
what a wonderful world this would be. She Blinded Me With Science :) "The Element Song" by Tom Lehrer.

Fee fee, fi fi, fo fo from I smell smoke in the auditorium.
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown.
He's a clown, he's a clown.
He's gonna get caught just you wait and see.
"Why is everybody always picking on me?"
That's him on his knees,
I know that's him yelling "seven come eleven" down in the boys gym. Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown that Charlie Brown.
He's gonna get caught, just you wait and see.
"Why is everybody always picking on me?".
Who's always writing on the walls?
Who's always throwing spit balls?
Who's always dancing in the halls?
Who me? Yeah you! Thats who!
He walks in the classroom cool and slow,
Who calls the English teacher Daddy-o?
Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown,
He's a clown, that Charlie Brown.

School Day
by
Chuck Berry
Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
American history and practical math
You studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Ring, ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books
Keep up the teacher don't know how mean she looks
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint, you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You're gotta hear somethin' that's really hot
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long you been wantin' to dance,
Feeling the music from head to toe
Round and round and round we go
Hail, hail rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul. Science: MC Hawking - It's Stephen Hawking rapping about physics!! "Entropy" and "E=MC Hawking" are my favorites. You can check them out here: http://www.mchawking.com/mp3s/
