lyrics
Papa’s grocery store
Everyday after school
Your feet won’t touch the floor
Sitting on the stool
Transistor radio
Sing along with the soda jerks
Mama counts the change
You watch how her fingers work
Tinker tinker
Deep thinker
Spin those wheels
Make gears grind
Are you a pioneer?
Or just another engineer
Who’s lost his mind
Someday you’ll fly a plane
And then you’ll build one, too
Head west young man
There are others just like you
Standardized exams
Won’t measure how smart you are
As long as you don’t use
The garage to park your car
Tinker tinker
Deep thinker
Spin those wheels
Make gears grind
Are you a pioneer?
Or just another engineer
Who’s lost his mind
You’re one of a kind
Combining punch cards with
Atari and FORTRAN
Thoughtfully dissect
Fractals with bare hands
Playing hide and seek
With family ties that bind
Your little town in Ohio
All they ever need to know
Is you’re one of a kind
