Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
And then I heard them laugh and say
Look, they´re gonna go flying way up to the moon now

Hey, what´s it good for anyway
So I said
Fellas, like to ask you a thing if I may

What about Livingstone
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn´t it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn´t that help the rest
Wasn´t it worth it then
What about Livingstone

And all of those fellas at the local news-stand
Didn´t know what to answer or what to say
So I told them about him, that he was just like
One of those spacemen in his way

And if you laugh at them
Then there´s only a thing I can say

What about Livingstone
What about all those men
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn´t it worth the while
Travelling up the Nile
Putting themselves on test
Didn´t that help the rest
Wasn´t it worth it then

What about Livingstone
(Didn´t he do it, well didn´t he)
What about all those men
(Didn´t he do it, well didn´t he)
Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
Tell me, wasn´t it worth the while

(Didn´t he do it, well didn´t he)
Travelling up the Nile
(Didn´t he do it)
Putting themselves on test
Didn´t that help the rest
(Didn´t that help them, well, didn´t it)
Wasn´t it worth it then
What about Livingstone
(Didn´t he do it, well didn´t he)
What about all those men
(Didn´t he do it, well didn´t he)
