Experiment |
Before you leave these portals |
To meet less fortunate mortals, |
There’s just one final message |
I would give to you. |
You all have learned reliance |
On the sacred teachings of science, |
So I hope, through life, you never will decline |
In spite of philistine |
Definace |
To do what all good scientists do. |
Refrain |
Experiment. |
Make it your motto day and night. |
Experiment |
And it will lead you to the light. |
The apple on the top of the tree |
Is never too high to achieve, |
So take an example from Eve, |
Experiment. |
Be curious, |
Though interfering friends may frown. |
Get furious |
At each attempt to hold you down. |
If this advice you always employ |
The future can offer you infinite joy |
And merriment, |
Experiment |
And you’ll see |
Experiment |
Verse |
As I was leaving high school |
My pet professor of my school |
Said: My dear, one parting message I would give to you. |
By now you’ve learned reliance |
On the sacred teachings of science, |
So I hope, through life, you never will decline, |
In spite of philistine |
Definace |
To do what all good scientists do. |
Refrain 1 |
Interlude |
And now, each one of you, do |
Let me adapt this ditty to you. |
Refrain 2 |
Experiment. |
Whenever doubtful take a chance. |
Experiment |
And you’ll discover sweet romance. |
When in a state of ignorant bliss |
Regarding a creatrue you crave |
'Tis folly, my friend, to behave, |
Experiment, |
Be curious, |
And when you’ve picked a perfect wife, |
Get furious |
Till she is yours and yours for life. |
If this you do (and no cock-and-bull) |
In time she may give you a nurs’ry full* |
Of merriment. |
Experiment |
And you’ll see. |
The future may give you a nurs’ry full |
