Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFEGHIH JKLMNOPOQRSR TUHUUVUVWXYX UEZEUA2B2A2C2D2UD2| Who are these blokes with bulging brows | A |
| I see all o'er the shop | B |
| The layman asked Them's scientists | C |
| Replied the courteous cop | B |
| They are the country's biggest brains | D |
| There's nothing they don't know | E |
| The ways of stars the eight of suns | F |
| And why the winds do blow | E |
| Then think you they could cure this cold | G |
| That leaves me leaden eyed | H |
| Well no they ain't quite up to that | I |
| The constable replied | H |
| - | |
| But they could take a man apart | J |
| And sew him up again | K |
| As good as new they know how trees | L |
| Grow from a tiny grain | M |
| And they can harness wireless waves | N |
| And make hem do their will | O |
| Or split an atom bang in two | P |
| Or cleave a mighty hill | O |
| But could they make this north wind change | Q |
| A point to east or west | R |
| Well no the cop replied not yet | S |
| That's far too stiff a test | R |
| - | |
| But they can cause electric eyes | T |
| To shut and open doors | U |
| Or answer telephones or guide | H |
| A great ship from the shores | U |
| Their ographies' and ologies' | U |
| And wonders that they plan | V |
| To shove ahead this human race | U |
| Do fair amaze a man | V |
| Why they'll have television soon | W |
| Or so I've heard or read | X |
| And will that make man happier | Y |
| The simple layman said | X |
| - | |
| Tho' most amazing as you say | U |
| The things they do and know | E |
| They cannot make the rain to fall | Z |
| Or cause the breeze to blow | E |
| They cannot build one blade of grass | U |
| Or read a flapper's mind | A2 |
| That collar stud I dropped this morn | B2 |
| I'll swear they could not find | A2 |
| Move on there cried the constable | C2 |
| These ain't things for a joke | D2 |
| Upon my word I never see | U |
| So iggnerint a bloke | D2 |
