Текст песни: Alexander Graham Bell + перевод

Alexander Graham Bell

Note the name and note it well

Father of the modern age

His inventions are all the rage

Of course there was the telephone

He’d be famous for that alone

But there’s 50 other things as well

From Alexander Graham Bell

Edison had cylinders

But Bell made records flat

Which we remember gratefully

When we play our floppy or cd

Of course there was the telephone

He’d be famous for that alone

But there’s 50 other things as well

From Alexander Graham Bell

Born in Scotland, moved away

To Canada and the usa

Studied speech, took a wife

Helped the deaf all his life

Came up with a threshing machine

Before he made it to a teen

After years of sweat and toil

He invented the hydrofoil

The respirator was his chance

To save his baby’s life

And just like the Brothers Wright

He got heavily into flight

Of course there was the telephone

He’d be famous for that alone

But there’s 50 other things as well

From Alexander Graham Bell

Graham Bell, Alexander,

It is tantamount to slander

To call him just a scientist

Why his inventions top the list

Edison, he was a thief

And Tesla nuts beyond belief

But Alexander was a gent

So philanthropic, so well meant

Founded Science Magazine

Wrote a book for kids

Because he was a caring fellow

Gave a hand to Helen Keller

Of course there was the telephone

He’d be famous for that alone

But there’s 50 other things as well

From Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Bell, Graham

Modern life would sure be mayhem

Without tetrahedral cells

X-rays, faxes, decibels

I think I’d say, and it’s no fiction

Without fear of contradiction

He improved our lot a smidgeon

From the age of carrier pigeon

Television was a thing

That he had all prepared

But he left that to his pupil

John Logie Baird

Of course there was the telephone

He’d be famous for that alone

But there’s 50 other things as well

From Alexander Graham Bell
