Song of the Geographer

 

Verse 1

I am a Geographer, a man of great repute
I am a Geographer and I write voluminous books
Of all the planets and all the stars
Exactly recorded as sure as I can
I’m a scholarly, eminent, highly intelligent
Quite irreplaceable man

Verse 2

Oh I am a Geographer, pray come and take a look
I am a Geographer and I write these voluminous books
When meeting explorers then I am the first
In drawing the maps of the Universe
I’m a scholarly, eminent, highly intelligent
Quite irreplaceable man
Middle
A noble and worthy profession
An inter-galactic guide
I consider the proofs of explorers
The evidence that they provide
A noble and worthy profession
Distinguished, esteemed and refined
In matters of such great importance
You need a methodical mind

Verse 3

I am a Geographer, a man of great repute
I am a Geographer and I write these voluminous books
I check and ponder all physical forms
Considering all with a sober thought
Diligent, ancient methodically patient
And quite irreplaceable man
P: “You’re a diligent, ancient methodically patient
And quite irreplaceable man”

Verse 4

Now I am a Geographer, I hope you’ve understood
I am a Geographer and I write these voluminous books
P: “You check and ponder all physical form considering all with a sober
thought”
G: I’m a diligent, ancient methodically patient and quite irreplaceable man
P: “You’re a diligent, ancient methodically patient and quite irreplaceable man”
G: I’m a diligent, ancient methodically patient and quite irreplaceable man
