The Lyrics
From just a cell each grew;
One gave Einstein.
Yet another gave W.
One thought high things;
One brought us spy rings.
You know, it seems random:
One mapped light and sound.
He get it from daddy? . . .
The other is a mad lightweight clown
Who won't let cells form new
Stem research lines,
No lines.
W,
W,
W,
W, tell me how
He got up there,
The presidency.
More brains cells: plow.
Quite clearly
That from one cell, what grew
Is no Einstein.
One gave Einstein.
Yet another gave W.
One thought high things;
One brought us spy rings.
You know, it seems random:
One mapped light and sound.
He get it from daddy? . . .
The other is a mad lightweight clown
Who won't let cells form new
Stem research lines,
No lines.
W,
W,
W,
W, tell me how
He got up there,
The presidency.
More brains cells: plow.
Quite clearly
That from one cell, what grew
Is no Einstein.

yeah, hard to believe they are the same species, ain't it ?
Thanks a third time, Alvin.
Einstein, dead, is still the smarter of the two. And probably speaks better.
Other than the awkward line "More brain cells: plow," this is darn near perfect. It's tight, funny, and surprisingly poignant. I really should know the original, but I don't, so I pledge to track it down in time for you to celebrate #100.
Great concept and execution.... interestingly, they were both patent clerks in their youth.... naaaaaah!
Great study in contrast...and so true
