[Verse 1] Here's what I know About Michelangelo He painted on the ceiling And carved up some stones He built those beautiful library stairs And he gave St. Peter a dome He left Moses sitting in Rome [Verse 2] Well, I wonder how I can Be more like him But where I see a cracked ceiling He sees the birth of man Mama said I aught to sit down And put together some sort of plan 'Cause that's how Michelangelo began [Chorus] He'd go down to his studio He'd wait till the ideas flowed Then he'd take out his hammer and spike And chip at that marble 'til the marble looked right Then he'd say, “Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh That's why they call me Michelangelo!” [Verse 3] Well let's not forget About the sculpture of David If the Earth washed away That's one thing worth saving His eyes are scared and sad And at the same time they're strong and brave He put Goliath down in his grave [Chorus] Then he'd go down to his studio He'd wait 'til the ideas flowed Then he'd take out his hammer and spike Chip at that marble 'til the marble looked right Then he'd say, “Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh That's why they call me Michelangelo!” [Outro] And that's all I know about Michelangelo Yeah, that's all I know about Michelangelo
