- Einstein:
- When I was a lad I needed work
- And took a position as a patent clerk.
- I took great pleasure in this position,
- And I carefully reviewed each promising submission.
- Chorus:
- He carefully reviewed each promising submission.
- Einstein:
- I read each submission so carefully
- And later I discovered relativity.
- Chorus:
- He read each submission so carefully
- And later he discovered relativity.
- Einstein:
- Of patent work I soon grew tired
- Though at least I had read enough to be inspired.
- This inspiration lead me to teach
- To see if there were others my ideas could reach.
- Chorus:
- To see if there were others his ideas could reach.
- Einstein:
- I tried to find a university
- Where I could keep up work on relativity.
- Chorus:
- He tried to find a university
- Where he could keep up work on relativity.
- Einstein:
- My first nineteen-five article
- Showed light acts both as wave and particle.
- Next month I finally finished school
- By showing how to measure any molecule.
- Chorus:
- He showed us how to measure any molecule.
- Einstein:
- These papers got me notoriety
- But nothing to my work on relativity.
- Chorus:
- These papers got him notoriety
- But nothing to his work on relativity.
- Einstein:
- Now time and space won’t be the same
- If we don’t move in one inertial frame.
- But this ignores the speed of light
- I redefined both time and space to make it right.
- Chorus:
- He redefined both time and space to make it right.
- Einstein:
- This was a big event for me.
- This theory would be known as relativity.
- Chorus:
- “This was a big event,” said he,
- This theory that is known as relativity.
- Einstein:
- In May I proved a widespread notion
- That atoms are the cause of Brownian motion.
- By late that year I was prepared
- To prove that energy’s equal to mc squared.
- Chorus:
- He showed that energy’s equal to mc squared.
- Einstein:
- Since then my life has been so dreary
- As I have failed to find a unified field theory.
- Chorus:
- Since then his life has been so dreary
- As he has failed to find a unified field theory
- Einstein:
- So physicists, wherever you may be
- If you want a thesis for your Ph. D.
- If fame and fortune you prefer
- And not just for your style and wild coiffeur
- Chorus:
- You won’t be known just for your style and wild coiffeur.
- Einstein:
- Just break new ground, like relativity
- And you can be a physicist celebrity.
- Chorus:
- Just break new ground, like relativity
- And you can be a physicist celebrity
