Lobachevsky
-----------

Who made me the genius I am today - the mathematician that others all quote?
Who's the professor that made me that way - the greatest that ever got
chalk on his coat?

One man deserves the credit!
One man deserves the blame!
And Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name. Oi!
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobache-

I am never forget the day I first meet great Lobachevsky. In one word
he told me secret of success in mathematics: Plagiarise.

Plagiarise!
Let no-one else's work evade your eyes
Remember why the good Lord made your eyes
So don't shade your eyes
But plagiarise, plagiarise, plagiarise
Only be sure always to call it, please, "research"

And ever since I meet this man my life is not the same
And Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobache-

I am never forget the day I am given first original paper to write. It was
on "Analytical Algebraic Topology of Locally Euclidean Metrization of 
Infintely Differentiable Riemannian Manifolds". Bozhe Moi! This, I know,
from nothing! But I think of great Lobachevsky and I get idea. Ha-ha!

I have a friend in Minsk
Who has a friend in Pinsk
Whose friend in Omsk has friend in Tomsk
With friend in Akmolinsk.
His friend in Alexandrovsk
Has friend in Petropavlovsk.
Whose friend somehow is solving now
The problem in Driepropetrovsk

And when his work is done, ha-ha begins the fun
From Driepropetrovsk to Petropavlovsk
By way of Iliysk and Novorossiysk
To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk
To Tomsk to Omsk
To Pinsk to Minsk
To me the news will run
Yes to me the news will run

And then I write by morning, night
And afternoon and pretty soon
My name in Driepropetrovsk is cursed
When he finds out I publish first!

And who made me a big success and brought me wealth and fame?
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobache-

I am never forget the day my first book is published. Every chapter I stole
from somewhere else. Index I copied from old Vladivostok telephone directory.
This book, this book was sensational! Pravda, well Pravda said "(%%%%%%)" -
it stinks. But Izvestia! Izvestia said "%%%%&&&(/(/))" - it stinks.

Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva buys movie rights for six million rubles, changing
title to "The Eternal Triangle" with Doris Day playing part of hypotenuse.

And who deserves the credit? And who deserves the blame?
Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his naaaame... Oi!
