The Brainiacs
This is the story of a family
who never did a thing except for watch TV
until one day when the family pet
pulled the plug on their TV set.
And they blinked, cleared their heads,
and they picked up a book and they read.
That's the way they all became the Brainiacs!
Now Papa knows the almanac from A to Z.
He's a five time champion on Jeopardy.
And Mama Brain's a self taught scientist.
She built a nuclear reactor in the barbecue pit.
Teen Brain invented an electric car.
It can drive across the country on a single charge.
The littlest Brain is a billionaire.
Her company's the leader in computer software.
The President called on the Brainiacs
to help find a way to pay the national debt.
We owe it all to that wonderful pet
who pulled the plug on their TV set!
And they blinked, cleared their heads,
and they picked up a book and they read.
That's the way they all became the Brainiacs!
