Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand |
And then I heard them laugh and say |
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now |
Hey, what's it good for anyway? |
So I said |
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may |
|
What about Livingstone? |
What about all those men? |
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way |
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while |
Travelling up the Nile |
Putting themselves on test |
Didn't that help the rest? |
Wasn't it worth it then? |
What about Livingstone? |
|
And all of those fellas at the local news-stand |
Didn't know what to answer or what to say |
So I told them about him, that he was just like |
One of those spacemen in his way |
And if you laugh at them |
Then there's only a thing I can say |
|
What about Livingstone? |
What about all those men? |
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way |
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while |
Travelling up the Nile |
Putting themselves on test |
Didn't that help the rest? |
Wasn't it worth it then? |
|
What about Livingstone? |
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) |
What about all those men? |
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) |
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way |
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while |
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) |
Travelling up the Nile |
(Didn't he do it?) |
Putting themselves on test |
Didn't that help the rest? |
(Didn't that help them? Well, didn't it?) |
Wasn't it worth it then? |
What about Livingstone? |
