You’re Nice People You Are

1997

[Verse 1]
This world is whistles and missiles
Bones and trombones
Turtles and fish in the sea
Ice cream and jumping beans
Atoms and genes
From zero to infinity

[Chorus]
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up

[Verse 2]
It could be a fraction, a chain reaction
A caveman in a block of ice
A rocket full of sugar, a lion or a cougar
Or a tropical paradise

[Chorus]
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up

[Guitar Solo]

(Spoken)
Scientists estimate that there are about ten billion trillion stars in the universe
The largest and oldest living thing on earth is a kind of tree called the sequoia
Some of thеm are over two thousand years old!
Did you know that thе Constitution of the United States of America was actually patterned after the League of Nations formed by the Iroquois Indians in the early 1600s?
(Thank you!)

[Verse 3]
Whistles and missiles
Bones and Trombones
Turtles and fish in the sea
Ice cream and jumping beans
Atoms and genes
From zero to infinity

[Chorus]
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up
