SLIDE RULE
======
I'm thinking of starting a part-time gig as act for young people..do you think I could make it with this?
-----------------------------
First day of class, your brain's on fire;
That higher Mathematics only gonna get higher!
Why you lettin' them fry you, fool?
"Ain't you ever heard of the Slide Rule?

I'm not talkin' 'bout the doodad hanging from your belt;
Gotta save yourself from the hand you're dealt;
That calculus junk is a giant funk;
Drop it for Shop before you up and flunk.

The Slide Rule, the Slide Rule.. 

Now you can use Slide Rule anywhere in life--
At school, at work, or if you got a wife;
The idea is you don't need no stress;
Turn your back on the tough and choose easiness.

Logarithms, tangents, geometry,
Fibonacci numbers, trigonometry;
When you slide that strip, move that glass,
When they ask for Pi--oh, son, they got your... 

Why take the high load, not worth the strife!
Look for the fly road, the carefree life.
Don't let them turn you to a pie-eyed tool,
Just kinda slip away--the Slide Rule!


Don't listen to the brainiacs, they only lie.
Forget about arithmetic and just slide by;
Twenty years from now in your junk key drawer
You're gonna find that slide rule--a dinosaur!

I made this from a drum sample I took, then added various MIDI elements as well as a couple of sound effects. I wish I had a vox effect for electronic-like touch, but I don't.
