What About Livingstone? Lyrics

Went to buy me a paper at the local news - stand 
And then I heard them laugh and say 
Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now 
Hey, what's it good for anyway? 
So I said 
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may 

What about Livingstone? 
What about all those men? 
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way 
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while 
Travelling up the Nile 
Putting themselves on test 
Didn't that help the rest? 
Wasn't it worth it then? 
What about Livingstone? 

And all of those fellas at the local news - stand 
Didn't know what to answer or what to say 
So I told them about him, that he was just like 
One of those spacemen in his way 
And if you laugh at them 
Then there's only a thing I can say 

What about Livingstone? 
What about all those men? 
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way 
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while 
Travelling up the Nile 
Putting themselves on test 
Didn't that help the rest? 
Wasn't it worth it then? 

What about Livingstone? 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
What about all those men? 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way 
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
Travelling up the Nile 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
Putting themselves on test 
Didn't that help the rest? 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
Wasn't it worth it then? 
What about Livingstone? 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?) 
What about all those men? 
(Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
