The Lyrics

Why can't Johnnie Cypher?
[Johnnie:] Three dot seven one two fiver, gotta scan this sucker out,
I'm not rockin' with fractions,
Makes no sense what they're about.
Not goin' do fractions, they get me stressed and down (Yeah)
Yeah, not goin' do fractions, ain't no frackin' clown.

[Teacher:] Well go 'head and round this fraction, go ahead and round one twelfth,
Do it by hand just use my lesson plan and a slide rule check yourself.
[Johnnie:] Yeah, yeah, dumb ass fractions, it's so dumb I swear.
Not goin' know all fractions.
[Teacher:] And when you're done find what's its square.
'
[Johnnie:] Two threes go inta fifty. [Teacher:] Some people think it's stupid now.
[Johnnie:] One times seven does it makes three? [Teacher:] Teachin' you so you know how.
(Teacher:) To resolve these fractions. [Johnnie:] What is the use of a float?
(Teacher:) Just try doin' fractions. [Johnnie:] Cain't try what I ain't knowed.

[Johnnie:] Three halves of two in fraction? (Teacher:) (How 'bout it?)
[Johnnie:] 'Cause it's a damn sin math I gotta take.
I need to round it down but it's upside down,
What the hell is this nineteen eighths?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, frickin' fractions, (Teacher:) No countin' on hand.
[Johnnie:] I'm so hatein' all these fractions,
Decline... No FRACTRAN fan.

[Johnnie:] Three dot seven one two fiver, gotta scan this sucker out,
I'm not rockin' with fractions,
Makes no sense what they're abou-ou-out.
Don't know fractions, won't even try to subtract.
Not goin' do fractions, doin' this math's so fact.

[Both:] Three dot seven one two fiver, gotta scan this sucker out,
I'm not rockin' with fractions...

I love the dialogue aspect - it's a pity you didn't credit Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood's version of this song, Guy, as they did the dialogue thing too - but I loved this, and I love the OS (and have a parody to it somewhere) - 555

DKTOS, so no vote, but my virtual vote is 1/5's reciprocal times pi.
