Jack Sheldon & Schoolhouse Rock – Introduction lyrics

[Scooter:]
When school lets out I race right home,
I'm faster than the bus, I just can't wait to see my friend,
Who's come to live with us.

He's quite unique this friend of mine,
Like none you've ever seen.
He full of fancy circuitry,
Instead of fingers he has keys,
And where a normal face should be he's got a special screen.

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips
They've got the answers at their fingertips.
Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips
They've got the answers at their fingertips.

[Scooter:]
Mr. Chips is quite a whiz, he works with lightening speed.
He gives me information and the answers that I need.
He's got a super memory, but I'm what makes him tick.
He's programmed so that he reacts when I feed him data,
Those are facts, he sorts then out and answers back,
You ought to see how quick!

[Mr. Chips:]
Anything you can do with paper and pencil I can do faster.

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips
They've got the answers at their fingertips.
Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips
They've got the answers at their fingertips.

[Scooter:]
Ok Mr. Chips, let's show
These kids how much we know.
I type my questions on his keys to set my pal in motion.
Name the states that border on the great Pacific Ocean.

He sure to have the answers if the program all was right.
He searches all his data through,
And feeds back names of four or two.

I knew I could depend on you. Hey Chips, you're out of sight.

[Mr. Chips:]
It was nothing.

[Scooter:]
There's just no end to what we do with Mr. Chips around.
He helps me with my homework so I really get it down.
He prints the checks that pay the bills,
He stores up dates and names,
He files facts, makes shopping lists,
He tells us birthdays not to miss,
And then on top of all this he's great at playing games.

[Mr. Chips:] I'm free. I win.
Sorry.

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips
They've got the answers at their fingertips.

They've got the answers at their fingertips
