chorus:

science is wonderful

science is grand

but theres one thing about science

that i dont understand

they can build a bomb to destroy the world

they can put a man on the moon

but they cant find one safe and easy way

to keep sperm out of the womb



Mike and Ann were Catholic and they didnt want any kids

but the church said they had to use rhythm so that is what they did

do you know theres a name for people who practice rhythm faithfully

yup - we call em parents - now Mike and Ann have a family of three

chorus Jane and Lynn and Catherine put their faith in the I.U.D.

wasnt long before all of them were mothers to be

so Catherine got a diaphragm the next time round cause she didnt know what else to do

now Jane and Lynn have one kid each - Catherine has two



chorus



if men could get pregnant, you know what wed see

birth control research would be bigger than the defence industry

theyve got a million medical marvels to delay your trip to the tomb

but they cant find one safe and easy way to keep sperm out of the womb



now I grew up in the 60s and we all went on the pill

till we saw it was making us moody, fat, depressed and ill

the trouble is the fellows all got used to it, they thought it was the norm

now you show a safe* to a 60s man, the poor darling cant perform



chorus
