The Einstein Time Machine Blues

HG Wells,
Well this song is for you
It';s a mixture of imagination and what I learned in school
Well ole Albert would've never cared
If I had never learned E=MC2
Set your clock back baby,
I've got the Einstein Time Machine Blues

I went to Egypt in its heyday
And saw a pyramid on the rise
I ate the blueprints with camel, pumpernickel, and rye
If King Tut had to choose
He'd rather be in Steve Martin's shoes
Mummified and cursed
With the Einstein Time Machine Blues

France with their guillotine
Heads a'rollin' everywhere
Let's give a cheer to the Executioner's dear
Cause she's hopin' she'll get spared

I'm the only one who can say
I saw Rome built in a day
Caesar eatin' salad
With the Einstein Time Machine Blues

Time travelin' gave me a reason
To understand about my faith
I had breakfast w/Buddha, my last supper w/Jesus
And I found out what Confucius had to say

So if I end up in Vegas in 1972
Tell Deano and Sinatra
I've got the Einstein Time Machine Blues
Tell Sammy Davis Jr. too
We'll all have a drink over
the Einstein Time Machine Blues
