He don't play football golf or guitar he's never been on Sullivan Clark or Paar

He's just not important cause he ain't a star he's just a scientist

Oh oh just a scientist yeah yeah just a scientist uhhuh just a scientist that's all

Now all the games are won by big and brawny halfbacks

And marshals find the rustlers by their horse's tracks

But who is gonna get us to the moon and back

He'll be a scientist hey hey just a scientist oh yeah just a scientist

Just a scientist that's all

Everybody's flippin' over Fabian or Frankie Avalon

But nobody ever seems to give a flip over Dr Werner Von Braun

Cause he's just a scientist yeah yes a scientist

Just a scientist just a scientist that's all

Now all that we remember is that Cadillac that knocked us out and made us gawk

We done forgot about the polio shot invented by Dr Salk

Cause he's just a scientist oh yeah he's just a scientist

Yeah yeah just a scientist just a scientist that's all
