about

I had a sudden hankering for philosopher puns one day. Really don't know why it started, but I had to work my way to the line "she's Lao Tze in bed." The original version mentioned Chomsky, but being the only living philosopher, I swapped him out for Archimedes. Careful listeners will hear "chew chew gum chew gum gum chew" performed by voice and wood block.

Written 27 August, 17-18 September 2005.

lyrics

She has read The Republic
better yet she understands it
and Kierkegard and Descartes too
even Kant is someone she can do

She's my Philospher Girl
she makes sense of all the world
when it comes to foreign policy
she's another Chomsky


She'll Hegel over the price of Sun Tzu
She's always willing to try something Newton
What Confucious say she will repeat
She'll Heidegger motions with Sophocles

She's my Philospher Girl
she makes sense of all the world
in a group she aims to please
she's a regular Socrates


But when you ask a simple question
you will get a full discourse
Philosophy has taken over
and I think it's for the worst

She's my Philosopher Girl
she makes sense of the world
she may have the answers in her head
but she is Lao Tze in bed
