[Chumbawamba - The Wizard Of Menlo Park lyrics]
Mary had a little lamb
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the
Lamb was sure to go
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
Each jump in the dark we claim as our own
We know it's a lie, we never acted alone
Each jump in the dark each jump in the dark
The machine became the star, beats to the bar
Poor Gus Dudgeon lying in his car
Down in the basement messing with the moment
Alchemy and elements
Smashing up your instruments
Old Thomas Edison mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
A foot in the past, a head in a book
A soup of opinion, a ladle of luck
Each jump in the dark each jump in the dark
Old Thomas Edison mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
From starlight to flashlight
Sorting out the copyright
It takes a little time
But the contract's airtight
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The money's in the black but
The needle's in the red
One, two, one, two, check
Wednesday, Wednesday, Mississippi, yeah
Old Thomas Edison mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
It's fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went the
Lamb was sure to go
Old Thomas Edison, mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
Each jump in the dark we claim as our own
We know it's a lie, we never acted alone
Each jump in the dark each jump in the dark
The machine became the star, beats to the bar
Poor Gus Dudgeon lying in his car
Down in the basement messing with the moment
Alchemy and elements
Smashing up your instruments
Old Thomas Edison mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
A foot in the past, a head in a book
A soup of opinion, a ladle of luck
Each jump in the dark each jump in the dark
Old Thomas Edison mixing up the medicine
Messing up time from Accrington to Amazon
See them all come with their wires and booms
And their itchy little thumbs saying
"play your funky drum"
From starlight to flashlight
Sorting out the copyright
