Went to buy me a paper   At the local newsstand   And then I heard them   Laugh and say      "Look, they're gonna go flying   Way up to the moon now   Hey, what's it good for anyway?"   So I said, "Fellas   Like to ask you a thing if I may"      "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   Traveling 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   Traveling up the Nile?   Putting themselves on test?   Didn't that help the rest?   Wasn't it worth it then?"      "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   Traveling up the Nile?   Putting themselves on test?   Didn't that help the rest?   Wasn't it worth it then?"      "What about Livingstone?   What about all those men   Who have sacrificed   Their lives to lead the way?"
