Well, ya’ know it’s simple and it’s a machine It makes work easy if you know what I mean. Like, try to lift a boulder and you’ll work forever, But watch it start liftin’ when you use, a lever. UH-HUH, A LEVER, UH-HUH, IT’S SO CLEVER... WHAT’S MY NAME? SIMPLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? MACHINE. I MAKE IT EASY TO WORK AND GET THINGS DONE, SO THERE’S FORCE AND MOTION FOR EVERYONE, UH-HUH... UH-HUH... Well, I woke up this morning, tried to put on my shoe There was too much friction and I didn’t know what to do So I had an idea, I was livin’ on the edge I grabbed a shoe horn, ‘cause it’s a wedge. UH-HUH, A WEDGE, UH-HUH, ON THE EDGE... WHAT’S MY NAME? SIMPLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? MACHINE. I MAKE IT EASY TO WORK AND GET THINGS DONE, SO THERE’S FORCE AND MOTION FOR EVERYONE, UH-HUH... UH-HUH... Well, ya’ know when you see a big set of stairs And your wearing skates, you should be kinda scared With all that momentum and all that speed An inclined plane is all you really need. UH-HUH, A PLANE, UH-HUH, NO PAIN... WHAT’S MY NAME? SIMPLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? MACHINE. I MAKE IT EASY TO WORK AND GET THINGS DONE, SO THERE’S FORCE AND MOTION FOR EVERYONE, UH-HUH... UH-HUH... Well, I tried to walk all the way across the town, But it took me all day and I had a big frown. So, I tried it on a bike to see how it would feel. I used less energy with an axle and a wheel. UH-HUH, A WHEEL AND AXLE, UH-HUH, THERE’S NO HASSLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? SIMPLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? MACHINE. I MAKE IT EASY TO WORK AND GET THINGS DONE, SO THERE’S FORCE AND MOTION FOR EVERYONE, UH-HUH... UH-HUH... Well, ya’ know some kids make a big ol’ fuss And they push you down or they steal your lunch, But instead of being bossed by a mean ol’ bully, Set up buckets of water with a rope and a pulley. UH-HUH, A PULLEY, UH-HUH, NO BULLIES... WHAT’S MY NAME? SIMPLE. WHAT’S MY NAME? MACHINE. I MAKE IT EASY TO WORK AND GET THINGS DONE, SO THERE’S FORCE AND MOTION FOR EVERYONE, UH-HUH... UH-HUH... Well, ya’ know one day, I was feeling abstract. Like Jackson Pollock, I wanted to “splat”! So I threw the paintball and it made a little dot, But you should see the splatter when I used a slingshot. UH-HUH...SPLAT!... UH-HUH...TAKE THAT! THE FARTHER YOU PULL, THE FASTER IT GOES, THE LARGER THE MASS, THE BIGGER THE SPLASH, FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE’S A REACTION, FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE’S A REACTION, FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE’S A REACTION.... SPLAT!!!
