Alexander Graham BellNote the name and note it wellFather of the modern ageHis inventions are all the rageOf course there was the telephoneHe'd be famous for that aloneBut there's 50 other things as wellFrom Alexander Graham BellEdison had cylindersBut Bell made records flatWhich we remember gratefullyWhen we play our floppy or cdOf course there was the telephoneHe'd be famous for that aloneBut there's 50 other things as wellFrom Alexander Graham BellBorn in Scotland, moved awayTo Canada and the usaStudied speech, took a wifeHelped the deaf all his lifeCame up with a threshing machineBefore he made it to a teenAfter years of sweat and toilHe invented the hydrofoilThe respirator was his chanceTo save his baby's lifeAnd just like the Brothers WrightHe got heavily into flightOf course there was the telephoneHe'd be famous for that aloneBut there's 50 other things as wellFrom Alexander Graham BellGraham Bell, Alexander,It is tantamount to slanderTo call him just a scientistWhy his inventions top the listEdison, he was a thiefAnd Tesla nuts beyond beliefBut Alexander was a gentSo philanthropic, so well meantFounded Science MagazineWrote a book for kidsBecause he was a caring fellowGave a hand to Helen KellerOf course there was the telephoneHe'd be famous for that aloneBut there's 50 other things as wellFrom Alexander Graham BellAlexander Bell, GrahamModern life would sure be mayhemWithout tetrahedral cellsX-rays, faxes, decibelsI think I'd say, and it's no fictionWithout fear of contradictionHe improved our lot a smidgeonFrom the age of carrier pigeonTelevision was a thingThat he had all preparedBut he left that to his pupilJohn Logie BairdOf course there was the telephoneHe'd be famous for that aloneBut there's 50 other things as wellFrom Alexander Graham Bell
