Thomas Young
when Thomas Young was still young he was a son of a gun son of conservative Quakers so very uptight he would not sweeten his tea with products of slavery he knew that men would rather be free
when he was only a sprat his mind was quick as a cat collectin' oceans of detail every salient fact he saw the forest and trees and every leaf in the breeze and in a flash he comprehended it all
and he said 'hey encyclopedia here's another entry on a subject deep and wide I don't need no credit I am the one they call the phenomenon'
upon the back of a horse he took a ride to the north attended medical school up in Edinburgh he played the flute and he danced maybe he found some romance it's hard to say some things are not written down
the Quakers were not amused by his behavior confused so at the end of the school year he rode further north through burnin' sun and through rain mosquitos searchin' for veins Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com he persevered recordin' it all
and he said 'hey encyclopedia here's another entry on a subject deep and wide I don't need no credit I am the one they call the phenomenon — anon.'
light rays behave more like waves so Thomas Young would have said and eyes do not change their shape when lookin' further away some tiny muscles within tug on the zonules of Zinn in turn they bend the crystaline lens
that bastard Champollion ripped off our phenomenon's decrypted hieroglyphics which he claimed as his own but our polymath probably has the last laugh because he's known for the Rosetta stone
and he said 'hey encyclopedia here's another entry on a subject deep and wide I don't need no credit I am the one they call the phenomenon — anon'
