words and music by Tom Lehrer (tune: "Te Amo")
| PROFESSOR: | s is one half g t squared |
| p v equals n r t | |
| K E is one half m v squared | |
| And T is 2 π times the square root of L over g. | |
| STUDENT: | I try my level best, |
| And I cram for ev'ry test, | |
| And I do all my work without delaying. | |
| I'm certainly not lazy, | |
| But I think I'll soon go crazy, | |
| 'Cause I don't understand a word he's saying. | |
| I hope they overlook this course, | |
| For why I ever took this course | |
| Will always be a mystery to me. | |
| But still I wish I knew | |
| Just what the dean will do | |
| If I don't get a C. |

STUDENT: |
| The force is mass | I think he said the force, |
| Times acceleration. | I know that word, of course, |
| Yes, the force is the mass | It's all becoming clear, |
| Times the acceleration, or more precisely, the time derivative of the linear momentum. | But it's too late, I fear. |
| There he goes again! | |

| Over g | |
| a C | |
| Over g | |
| a C | |
| Square root of L by g. | If I don't get a C. |
