Right on! An anthem for the new movement:
WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD THIS WOULD BE
We'd know more about history Much more about biology We'd know more about a science book We'd know more about the french I took
And I do know that I love you And I know that if you love me too What a wonderful world this would be
We'd know more about geography Much more about trigonometry We'd know more about algebra We'd know what a slide rule is for
We'd know that one and one is two And if this one could be with you What a wonderful world this would be
We'd know more about history We'd know more biology We'd know more about a science book We'd know more about the french I took
And I do know that I love you And I know that if you love me too What a wonderful world this would be
La ta ta ta ta ta ta (History) Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (Biology) La ta ta ta ta ta ta (Science book) Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (French I took)
And I do know that I love you And I know that if you love me too What a wonderful world this would be
