Museum of Discovery Lyrics

Museum of Discovery

Hold the door, mister, let me in

It's time to open up my brain

I rode the trolley to the science museum

Thoughts racing like a train

When I was young a lady read a book

To a group of wiggle worms

Since that day, I stop and take a look

Everyday I try to learn

Near the river in downtown Little Rock

Sits the Presidential Library

Head just a few blocks over to

The Museum of Discovery

Where you can stand inside a tornado

Rest your body on a bed of nails

Contemplate as deeply as Plato

Or just listen to the school kids yell

When I was young, my momma posed this question

"What do you want to be?"

"Mom, I've got a scientific obsession:

Sabrina Pasterski

I want to fly up in a self-built aircraft

Give a lecture on the Tesla coil

I want to read a book on particle physics and

The Compact Muon Solenoid

(Learn how to build your own radio

And never let your brain grow stale)

Now listen up people:

We've got rules at the Museum of Discovery

No running, no crying, no guns

Nothing we do is perfunctory

When it comes to having safe, smart fun

We've got experiments to try in the science lab

Go home and show off to your friends

We've got science camps and birthday parties

You can sign your daughters up for STEM

(Contemplate as deeply as Plato

And never let your brain grow stale)
