Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, they`re gonna go flying way up to the moon now
Hey, what`s it good for anyway?
So I said
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn`t it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn`t that help the rest?
Wasn`t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Didn`t know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way
And if you laugh at them
Then there`s only a thing I can say
What about Livingstone?
What about all those men?
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn`t it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn`t that help the rest?
Wasn`t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
(Didn`t he do it, well didn`t he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn`t he do it, well didn`t he?)
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn`t it worth the while
(Didn`t he do it, well didn`t he?)
Travelling up the Nile
(Didn`t he do it?)
Putting themselves on test
Didn`t that help the rest?
(Didn`t that help them? Well, didn`t it?)
Wasn`t it worth it then?
What about Livingstone?
(Didn`t he do it, well didn`t he?)
What about all those men?
(Didn`t he do it, well didn`t he?)
