Schoolchildren Singing "Particle Man" Songtext
von They Might Be Giants

Particle man, particle man
Doing the things a particle can
What′s he like? It's not important
Particle man

Is he a dot, or is he a speck?
When he′s underwater does he get wet?
Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, particle man

Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates particle man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man


Universe man, universe man
Size of the entire universe man
Usually kind to smaller man
Universe man

He's got a watch with a minute hand
Millenium hand and an eon hand
When they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, universe man

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with person man?
Degraded man, person man


Triangle man, triangle man
Triangle man hates person man
They have a fight, triangle wins
Triangle man
