"LEARN THE LAWS OF MOTION" (to the tune of "The Loco-Motion")

Here's a song that was just begging to be written last week when I was listening to Little Eva singing The Loco-Motion !

"LEARN THE LAWS OF MOTION"    by Kathy Dullea Hogan     2012

(to the tune of “The Loco-Motion” by Carole King and Gerry Goffin)

Everybody’s learnin’ the laws of motion

Come on, baby, learn the laws of motion

I know you’ll get to like it if you give it a chance now,

Come on, baby, do the laws of motion.

My little baby sister can do it with ease,

It’s easier than learnin’ your ABC,

So come on, come on, do the laws of motion with me.

Well, the 1^st one goes like this,

Something at rest tends to stay at rest.

Well, I think you’ve got the knack,

Woah, woah…

And something in motion tends to stay in motion.

Come on, baby, that’s the 1^st law of motion.

A chugga, chugga motion like a railway train now,

Come on, baby, do the laws of motion.

Do it nice and easy now, don’t lose control,

A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul,

So come on, come on, do the laws of motion with me…

Oh yeah…

Do the laws of motion…

Do the laws of motion…

Yay, yay, yay, yeah…

Now let’s move around to the next law of motion.

Come on, baby, the 2^nd law of motion.

Mass is holdin’ hands with Acceleration.

This is Force, baby, the 2^nd law of motion.

There’s never been a law that’s so easy to know,

It even makes you happy when you’re feelin’ blue,

So come on, come on, do the laws of motion with me…

Now the 3^rd law goes like this,

It’s the action, jump up, come back,

Well, I think you’ve got the knack.

Woah, woah.

The action has an equal opposite reaction,

That, my baby, is the 3^rd law of motion.

I know you’ll get to like it if you give it a chance now,

Come on, baby, do the laws of motion.

Do it nice and easy now, don’t lose control,

A little bit of rhythm and a lotta soul,

So come on, come on, do the laws of motion…
