The Lyrics

So anyway, the "specifics" of these lyrics were based on my math report. So it's both educational AND funny! Seriously, if someone actually "gets" these lyrics, they should seek help. It's just supposed to "sound funny." Moreso if you know what the original song sounds like. Actually, if you can't visualize these words to the music, it probably won't seem all that humorous (well that's why it's a parody, I guess). But I think most people know the song...

Six pages and a thesis
This is my math report
Multiplication
Division
Add or subtract, gotta make a decision

This is my math report

Got a page with a thesis
I start my math report
And my research
Start reading
Back in the day, we were counting on fingers
We advanced, 'cause of Egyptian thinkers
Yes, they used hieroglyphs to write
And then maybe out of spite,
Babylon saw the light
Sexagesimal filled their void
They were calculating trapezoids

'Cause I'm using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9
Using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9

I thought math history could just be ignored
But it was too late
The homework was on the board
Friday!
The dumb assignment
Had to be turned in
Modern math, where do I begin?
It all started with Greek mathematicians
Euclidean math
And triangle additions
Islam absorbed ideas from many other regions
Hindus perfected ideas taken from the Grecians

'Cause I'm using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9
Using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9
So x is 3
How could it be?
I messed up my dividing
Dividing
Dividing
Dividing
Dividing

I... can't... find... the... square... root... of... 8

Six pages and a thesis
This is my math report
Multiplication
Division
Add or subtract, gotta make a decision
Calculus, Newton sure could do it
But before he even knew it,
Gottfried Leibniz beat him to it
Rediscovered all that stuff
And for now I think that's quite enough

'Cause I'm using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9
Using cosine
Drawing a line
3x = -9
So x is 3
How could it be?
I messed up my dividing

I can't find the square root of 8
SOHCAHTOA...
90 degrees...
This angle's
RIGHT!
