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, well didn't he?)
  Putting themselves on test
  Didn't that help the rest?
  (Didn't he do it, well didn't he?)
  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?)
