The Great Metric Threat of 75!

Back in 99 there was that fear of Y2k
we'd wake up back the stone age at the dawn new years day
some talking heads from CNN proclaim we ought to stash
a year of bottled water, batteries and extra cash

turns out nothing happened, things were fine believing so
some of us had flashbacks to thirty years ago
a cataclysmic cloud that foretold awful things in store
life as we know it was gonna be no more.

see Congress had decided that they all were really weary of
sharing weights and measures with just Burma and Liberia
and so they passed a law to ....... alive
the metric conversion of 75

metric is coming, metric is coming,
ahh-oo, ahh-oo

we went through the streets
willing and running
metric is coming, metric is coming,

they were coming for our cups, our quarts,
our ounces, and our grams
Fahrenheits to Celsius, pounds to kilograms

fat kids would not feel the yardstick cracking over their heads
they'd get concussions with meter sticks instead

then came the cry of protest from the local corner bars
they can not take our kegs
they will not take our yards
we'll fight to keep each pint
we'll fight down to each ounce
because ......... liter is way too hard to pronounce

metric is coming, metric is coming,
ahh-oo, ahh-oo

we went through the streets willing and running
metric is coming
metric is coming

then came the day of reckoning
the country woke distraught
we turned on the TV to see what havoc had been wrought
the weatherman predicted sun from Maryland to Maine
but warned the west coast might see up to half an inch of rain

inches that's not metric
they haven't switched it yet
hey maybe if we don't say anything... maybe they'll just forget

thirty years have come and gone
avoidance serves us well
the first public policy of don't ask don't tell

metric is coming, metric is coming,
ahh-oo, ahh-oo

we went through the streets willing and running
metric is coming
metric is coming

they said the English system was out dated and confusing
too hard to convert
too many units to be using
what a load of garbage we've been coping all along
tonight we're going to prove those metric pushers they were wrong

here's the sing-a-long part
I'll say the unit first you then you sing the new equivalent after
you've done the conversion
no need for calculators this thing will be a breeze
when you get the answer say it nice and loudly please

the old faithful system is easy and good
we all know 12 inches equals.... a foot
and two more than that you know it's not hard
we all know that there are 3 feet in a.... yard

moving to miles we can't be beat
it's 5280.... feet
and while we're on miles we clearly can state
the number of furlongs in one mile is..... eight

as weighing stuff goes we won't be undone
we know that there's 2000 pounds in a....... ton
let's switch to fathoms, it's easy to do
one fathom in inches is......... 72

bring on our liquids we won't come up short
32 fluid ounces are in a....... quart
we haven't stopped yet we can do more
the number of quarts in one gallon is...... 4

they say it's unwieldy we'll say they're absurd
in tablespoons one teaspoon equals..... 1/3
teaspoons to gallons we'll not hesitate
we all know that there's..... 768

we're on a roll we're out for the kill
we all know 4 ounces equals a.... half cup
64 cups in one dram that's for sure
in teaspoons that's....... 36,864

how clearly we've converted we've shown that tonight
hey we don't need the metric system ours is all right
let the world have their base 10 system and we'll keep ours
who cares about a satellite or two we've lost on Mars

and in the early 80's congress knew that they'd been beat
the metric system folded it went down in defeat
liters, meters, kilograms we'll put out on the bench
because we won't use a system designed by the French

metric is coming, metric is coming,
ahh-oo, ahh-oo

we went through the streets willing and running
metric is coming
metric is coming
