My father changed the world
But no one gave him prizes
Never realized just what he'd done
My father changed the world
But critics and their commentators
Will never celebrate the work he done
I hope that old man's watching now
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
My father ruled the world
But time will take its prizes
The scientific boy with big ideas
Beset by compromises when I came along
I hope you're watching over now
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
