He don't play football golf or guitar 
He's never been on Bandstand Sullivan or Parr 
He's just not important cause he ain't a star 

(he's just a scientist) 
He just fools around with bottles and tubes 
(he's just a scientist) 
He's so square he's a cube 
(he's just a scientist) 
Big think glasses 
And he's bald 
(he's just a scientist) 
Ah that's all 

All the games are won by big and brawny half-backs 
And marshals' [bad word] by their horses' tracks 
But who's gonna get us to the moon and back 

(he'll be a scientist) 
I think it's inhumane 

> (hey, just a scientist) 
Sendin those poor little monkeys up in that thing 
(yeah, just a scientist) 
I think there otta be a law 
There otta be a law 
(he's 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) 
He's nobody's fool 
(he's just a scientist) 
Workin on that [bad word] 
(he's just a scientist) 
He's big and tall 
(he's just a scientist) 
Ah that's all 

Now all that we remember is a Thunder Bird 
That knocked us out and made us go 
But we done forgot about the polio shot 

(cause he's just a scientist) 
That's somethin I've got to get 
(he's just a scientist) 
I ain't got mine yet either 
(he's just a scientist) 
But I guess we can wait till fall 
(he's just a scientist) 
Ah that's all

He's just a scientist
