Figurin' It Out

Ol' Ben Franklin by his stove gettin' warm Eating salty crackers with his bi focals on Waiting on the mailman to bring the almanac Check out the personals in the very back Poor Richard calls for rain but Ben thinks he might Take a walk outside and fly himself a kite He's Figurin' It Out One mistake at a time Damned if the reason Ain't worth all of the rhyme Ain't waiting on no one To show me the way I'm Figurin' It out It takes up most of my day Thomas Edison alone watching TV in the dark When an idea came upon him crossed his mind Like a spark Says I think I'll make a lightbulb Then I won't have to hide Alone in the dark trying to read my TV Guide I'm gonna take a bunch of pictures And teach them how to move And cram a bunch of music Down into a deeper groove He's Figurin' It Out One mistake at a time Damned if the reason Ain't worth all of the rhyme Ain't waiting on no one To show me the way I'm Figurin' It out It takes up most of my day DaVinci's on a rooftop with a pair of cardboard wings A stack of empty bottles and a new decoder ring Says I wonder what would happen If i timed the wind just right Surrender inhibition and jump with all my might Jump's just what he did he lingered for awhile And just before he hit the ground He saw Mona Lisa smile He's Figurin' It Out One mistake at a time Damned if the reason Ain't worth all of the rhyme Ain't waiting on no one To show me the way I'm Figurin' It out It takes up most of my day
