Atom And His Package - (Lord, It's Hard To Be Happy) When You're Not Using The Metric System lyrics

Twelve inches per foot Two pints in a quart Why don't we make it easy? The English system of measurement must be linked to history We can use units of ten and convert with ease Like all the other countries I am in command Yes, I am taking a stand From this disease we must be free Good God You're drunk with your tradition That has no validity Well, I'm intoxicated in support of metrics Come drink a decaliter with me We want metrics We want it now We know we can win I weigh 170 pounds That's 90 kilograms So metrics can even make you thin Yardsticks are pathetic All the cool things are in metrics For example, here's just one I've got my nine Well, that's nine millimeters Sounds cooler than my point two something inches gun The powerful if nonexistant they will call me communist Or commie scum But it's worth it Canadians will think we're smart At least they'll think we are not as dumb You're drunk with your tradition That has no validity Well, I'm intoxicated in support of metrics Come drink a decaliter with me We want metrics We want it now We know we can win I weigh 170 pounds That's 90 kilograms So metrics can even make you thin The revolution's here We must overcome at last As we symbolically stick their f**ing foot up their f**ing a** Guitar! You are drunk with your tradition That has no validity Well, I'm intoxicated in support of metrics Come drink a decaliter with me We want metrics We want it now We know we can win I weigh 170 pounds That's 90 kilograms So metrics can even make you thin
