¶Lyrics / Text

Pythagoras was a very clever man, (a very very very very very clever man.) He spent a lot of time drawing lines in the sand. (Or so the hist’ry books tell us.) He loved to add up loads of numbers in his head; (in his head) Or do some algebra or geometry instead.(instead) Now it was Thursday after lunch - in the heat of the day, (Heat of, heat of, heat of, heat of, heat of the day.) And Pythagoras was scratching away at the clay, (Or so the hist’ry books tell us.) When a switch turned a light on in his head. (in his head) Yes a switch turned a light on in his head! He stood up straight, and cleared his throat, And this is what he said: The square, The square on the Hypotenuse of a Right-angled Triangle Is Equal to, is Equal to - the Sum of the squares - On the other two Sides. Fa la la la, Fa la la la, Fa la la la! Hey! Nonny no! Is Equal to the Sum of the squares On the other two Sides.
