Dimension
When some people try to make an impression
They talk about things like a fourth dimension
I think they're making a futile extension
Maybe even going the wrong direction
Dimensions can come in a fraction
Take for example the first dimension
One point six
Would be a line made of sticks
One point nine
Would be a high voltage line
And then take the second dimension
Two point four
Would be a bump in the floor
Two point five eight
Would be a wrinkled portrait
And finally the third dimension...
Well, you can't go any higher than that
Even if you get real fat
By holding your breath
You can puff out your cheeks
And stretch out your arms
And jump up and down
But out through your lips the air finally leaks
And there might be some funny farms
That try to take you in as a clown
So don't even try
To reach through the sky
Go with what you got
It's enough, it's a lot...
So when people try to make an impression
And talk of things like a fourth dimension
Say "wow that's really deep"
Pretend you're amazed, even though you're not
But you, you gotta keep
Going on with what you got
Keep chuggin' along with what you got
