We love you scientists, Oh yes we do-o,
And we love researchers, hunting for clu-ues.
You’re always in pursuit // of what’s true
Oh, scientists, we love you!

We love the botanist, the chemist to-oo,
Microbiologists, to name a few-ew.
Hey there geologists, what’s new?!
Oh, scientists, we love you!

We love astronomy, and physics to-oo,
And entomology, it’s tru-ue
Me-te-or-ol-o-gy, who knew?!
Oh, scientists, we love you!

We thank you scientists, oh yes we do-o,
We cannot name you all, boo hoo-oo!
We would be here all night, in this queue
Oh, scientists, we … love … you!!
