There's a law that was made long ago,
And men, who believe it there are,
And if | remember the same,
It's c, equals E over II.
Chorus-Then riddle EN-, rattle EN-, boys,
The public is always at school.

While suckers just fill up the
pool.
But what are we caring for laws,
We primary battery men?
We put in an ampere or two,
And presto" out comes eight or ten.

The day that you buy it of me

Come in to the tent, hurry up,
For Il trip to the new moon of Mars.

It's this way our power we store,
A kind of an alternate flow;
Perpetual motion, in fact,
Was never discovered till now.
They say we can't get in the show,
We hear they don't want us at all.
But then we'll be right handy by,
With bankers outside of the wall
