This world is whistles and missiles
Bones and trombones
Turtles and fish in the sea
Ice cream and jumping beans
Atoms and genes
From zero to infinity
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up

It could be a fraction
A chain reaction
A caveman in a block of ice
A rocket full of sugar
A lion or a cougar
Or a tropical paradise
Look it up, look it up, look it up
Look it up, look it up, look it up
