Just the Four of Us by The Klein Four Lyrics
(Intro:)
Now math is a very sensitive subject...
($al Money)
Chicago weather? Compared to Minnesota it's great
North High to Northwestern back in ninety-eight
Academics, women, Nintendo: pick two out of three
Or pick one if you're an ISP like me
Three years till I got my degree
Stayed here 'cause they turned me down at MIT
Now I see there's nowhere else I'd rather be
Ph. D., N bodies dance for me
Ladies know I got plenty of rhythm but no moves
Which proves it takes more than just theory to make a groove
It's practice: in the class this much is clear to the
Department's first distinguished TA in six years
You say I'm all work and no play? Then you ignore
All the crazy misadventures I've had with the Klein Four
What's in store? Put myself back in the mix
On the job market in '06
Just the four of us, doin' math until we die
Just the four of us, (Just the four of us)
Just the four of us, if math's not pure it don't apply
Just the four of us, you and you and you and I
(Oughter)
One, two, three and to the fo'
Klein Four in your face, lemme show you how it go
No no, you better smile when you call me a dork
Irish cream in your coffee from Newburgh New York
Northwestern by way of Cornell
And now homotopy is my circle of hell
But well, I'll get by any way that I can
Say what you will, I'm still a Yankees fan
Saturn with the tint and the GPS
Ain't nothing small enough it can't cause me stress
But yes, I've been put to the test, and I passed
'Cause I was built to outlast
(Elbow)
Straight outta Kingsport in Tennessee
Then I got my yellow jacket way down at the GT
But my four were not final, and beginning '03
It was me and my advisor doin' NCG
Curls and the chops mean you better respect
At the board or underneath 'em, you better expect me to
Soar like an eagle while you stand and watch, close the
Door on that rock when I block your shot, chotch
LL cool C, ladies love me
Let... me... see... that...
Wrong implication, I'm just in it for fun
And I know I'm not the only one
Just the four of us, don't have to ask us why
Just the four of us, (Just the four of us)
Just the four of us, got rhymes that money just can't buy
Just the four of us, you and you and you and I
(Neux)
Singin' 'bout math: this is what it's come to
For an a cappella master from the maize and blue
But okay, I was just in it to lend a hand
And these no-talent freaks sounded better than I had planned
Understand the tune, I can carry it
I don't mean to be so contravariant
Functor? I nearly killed her!
And the research I'll be doing is a thriller:
Algebraic and dynamic, got the best of each
So as long as my computer games are out of my reach
I can teach all y'all a little somethin' to rap to
But first I'm gonna take my nap, foo'
Just the four of us, and some other random guy
Just the four of us, (Just the four of us)
Just the four of us, do I sound like Jamiroquai?
Just the four of us, (Just the four of us)
Just the four of us, oh no I'm not gonna lie
Just the four of us, (Just the four of us)
Just the four of us, gonna make you laugh until you cry
Just the four of us, you and you and you and I
Now math is a very sensitive subject...
