ABC's of Machine

by Bill Nye

Girl: Here's a song about machines
Machines that are simple, yes indeed
Boy: We, we, we, wedges, screws, levers, pulleys
Girl: Wheels and axels too yeah, yeah, yeah
Makes work easier for us
Chorus: Easy, easy
Girl: Do the things we need to
Chorus: Do the things we need to
Boy: Massive force over longer distance
Met with little or no resistance

Girl and chorus: Levers, pulleys
Girl: Screws, wedges
Girl and chorus: Yes indeed
Girl: Are simple kinds
Girl and chorus: Of machines
Girl and chorus: Levers pulleys
Girl and chorus: Simple machines: levers, ramps, and pulleys
Girl and chorus: Levers, pulleys
Girl: Wheels, axels
Girl and chorus: Yes indeed
Girl: Are simple kinds
Girl and chorus: Of machines
Girl and chorus: Levers pulleys
Girl and chorus: Simple machines: levers, ramps, and pulleys

Boy: This song will teach you what they're all about
Girl: Come on, come on, come on,
Lemme show you what it's all about
Fulcrum loaded effort
Take the classic lever
Boy: Ram, ram, ram, ramps and planes that are inclined
Girl: Make work easier, you'll find
Simple machines are not alive
Chorus: Simple, simple
Girl: Things we take for granted
Chorus: Things we take for granted
Boy: Screwdrivers to push and pull
Even shovels that have dug up holes

Girl and chorus: Levers, pulleys
Girl: Screws wedges
Girl and chorus: Yes indeed
Girl: Are simple kinds
Girl and chorus: Of machines
Girl and chorus: Levers, pulleys
Girl and chorus: Simple machines: levers, ramps, and pulleys
