《Lobachevsky》歌词

[00:00:00] Lobachevsky - Tom Lehrer

[00:00:05] Who made me the genius I am today

[00:00:07] The mathematician that others all quote

[00:00:10] Who's the professor that made me that way

[00:00:12] The greatest that ever got chalk on his coat

[00:00:15] One man deserves the credit

[00:00:18] One man deserves the blame

[00:00:19] And Nicolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name

[00:00:22] Hi

[00:00:22] Nicolai Ivanovich Lobach

[00:00:28] Lobachevsky In one word

[00:00:30] He told me secret of success in

[00:00:32] Mathematics: Plagiarize

[00:00:35] Plagiarize

[00:00:37] Let no one else's work evade your eyes

[00:00:40] Remember why the good Lord made your eyes

[00:00:43] So don't shade your eyes

[00:00:44] But plagiarize plagiarize plagiarize

[00:00:47] Only be sure always to call it please "research"

[00:00:51] And ever since I meet this man

[00:01:11] Bozhe moi

[00:01:13] This I know from nothing
