Experiment

Before you leave these portals

To meet less fortunate mortals,

There's just one final message

I would give to you.

You all have learned reliance

On the sacred teachings of science,

So I hope, through life, you never will decline

In spite of philistine

Definace

To do what all good scientists do.RefrainExperiment.

Make it your motto day and night.

Experiment

And it will lead you to the light.

The apple on the top of the tree

Is never too high to achieve,

So take an example from Eve,

Experiment.

Be curious,

Though interfering friends may frown.

Get furious

At each attempt to hold you down.

If this advice you always employ

The future can offer you infinite joy

And merriment,

Experiment

And you'll see[Revised version for the film MISSISSIPPI BELLE (1943-44)]ExperimentVerseAs I was leaving high school

My pet professor of my school

Said: My dear, one parting message I would give to you.

By now you've learned reliance

On the sacred teachings of science,

So I hope, through life, you never will decline,

In spite of philistine

Definace

To do what all good scientists do.Refrain 1 [Same As Original Refrain]InterludeAnd now, each one of you, do

Let me adapt this ditty to you.Refrain 2Experiment.

Whenever doubtful take a chance.

Experiment

And you'll discover sweet romance.

When in a state of ignorant bliss

Regarding a creatrue you crave

'Tis folly, my friend, to behave,

Experiment,

Be curious,

And when you've picked a perfect wife,

Get furious

Till she is yours and yours for life.

If this you do (and no cock-and-bull)

In time she may give you a nurs'ry full*

Of merriment.

Experiment

And you'll see.*Or alternate line:

The future may give you a nurs'ry full
