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 newsstand
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?
