Because I Like Pi
(sung to tune of “Because I Got High”)
I took a class in general math-because I like pi
My friends all cheated most of them passed-but I still like pi
I finished this class up last and I know why. Why man? Hey, hey,
Because I liked pi, because I liked pi, because I liked pi
I took a walk up to the store, to buy some French fries
They charged me a whole dollar more, and I don’t know why
I’d get so mad at them, but I won’t cry. Don’t cry man, don’t cry.
Cause they don’t know pi, cause they don’t know pi, cause they don’t know pi
Ba da da ba ba ba
This song just ain’t so cool as I thought, ‘cause it’s about pi
Even the rhyme scheme ain’t so hot, ‘cause it’s about pi
I’d better stop singin’ now; or at least try
Cause you’re all sick of pi, you’re all sick of pi, you’re all sick of pi
My name is Mr. Math and I’m from big A. High
This song sucks so bad, I want to die
Who cares about all this stuff, that’s what I said
So all of you math geeks, add this in your head
Three-point one four, one five nine
And the letter e seven times
If you can find that answer, you’re pretty great
And upon pi, I’ll no longer hate
La da da da da da, and boo ba de de
Math can be so fun, if just for me
Golly gee, lets add, said Mr. J.
“let out the wife! Just for this one day!”
(background noises) Golly! Let her out of the basement! Math is fun! Pop those numbers into your algebra machines. If your don’t know the answer, ask the second grader next door. That oughta be enough to keep you hoodlums off of the streets for a while!
