Here we come
Through the market square
With our funny
Clothes and hair
Aristotle and Socrates
Plato and Diogenes
Four fat scholars
With our Greek philosophies
Hey, hey
We're the Thinkers
Wondering what
Life is for
We're paid to
Try and think up
The answer
To that and more
People found me irritating
Thanks to my interrogating
Like a toddler, was always asking why
What is wisdom, what is beauty
What is nature, what is duty
Taught everything I know to
This next guy
I'm Plato, was his pupil thinker
Ended up with inky fingers
Writing every word he taught me
Down
Also had my own theory
Like for everything that we see
There's a perfect version
To be found
Ooh
Hey, hey
We're The Thinkers
Mega brainy
Ancient Greeks
We're always
Busy thinking
'Cos the truth is
What we seek
My name is Diogenes
I'm not one to say thanks or please
Poked statues and walked barefoot
In the snow
Never believed in possessions
Thought they gave the wrong impression
Put faith in total freedom
Don't you know
I studied at Plato's academy
Taught Alex the Great, I know everything me,
Intriged by the world
Wanted to show it all.
I took all their theories higher
Discovered more to ether, earth, air and fire
Learned every science
I'm Mr Know-It-All
Hey, hey
We're The Thinkers
Very witty
Very wise
No one
Can out-wink us
We are Athens
Brainiest guys
Not everyone likes smarties though
Even Socrates had his foe
When tried for treason
He simply said "Why?"
They sentenced him to drink hemlock
He said "You know if I take stock
I am annoying, I'll take that
And die
Hey, hey
We're The Thinkers
Politicians
Gave us strife
But we don't
Give a tinkers
Cause we taught them
All about life
Ooohhh
