Lyrics

[Intro]
Ah-ooh-ooh
Ah-ooh-ooh
Ooh-cooh, ooh-ooh-cooh, cooh
It's cold outside
Ah-ooh-ooh
Ooh-cooh, ooh-ooh-cooh, cooh
It's cold outside
Ah-ooh-ooh
Ooh-cooh, ooh-ooh-cooh, cooh
Don't forget your mittens
[Verse 1]
Hey pal, how do I get to town from here?
And he said
"Well, just take a right where they're going to build that new shopping mall
Go straight past where they're going to put in the freeway
And take a left at what's gonna be the new sports center
And keep going until you hit the place where they're thinking of building that drive-in bank
You can't miss it"
And I said, "This must be the place"
[Verse 2]
Cooh-ooh, cooh, cooh-ooh
Golden cities, golden towns
Golden cities, golden towns
And long cars in long lines and great big signs
And they all say, "Hallelujah, yodel-ay-hee-hoo
Every man for himself"
Ooh-ooh, cooh, cooh
Golden cities, golden towns
Thanks for the ride
[Chorus]
Big science
Hallelujah
Big science
Yodel-aye-hee-hoo
[Verse 3]
You know, I think we should put some mountains here
Otherwise, what are the characters going to fall off of?
And what about stairs?
Yodel-aye-hee-hoo
Ooh-cooh, cooh, ooh
[Verse 4]
Here's a man who lives a life of danger
Everywhere he goes, he stays a stranger
"Howdy stranger, mind if I smoke?"
And he said
"Every man, every man for himself
Every man, every man for himself
All in favor, say 'I'"
[Chorus]
Big Science
Hallelujah
Big Science
Yodel-aye-hee-hoo
[Bridge]
"Hey, professor, could you turn out the lights?"
Let's roll the film
[Chorus]
Big science
Hallelujah
Every man, every man for himself
Big Science
Hallelujah
Yodel-aye-hee-hoo
