Lyrics

[Verse 1] Rent and blood pressure's rising Yesterday the check was sent Learning physics from a book It's interesting, but won't pay rent My landlord is such a dolt He thinks his ass is royalty But he's the one with a cellular phone And he owns all the property I live on the third floor My window's about 25 feet off the ground My formulas tell me that something would take Five-quarters of a second to hit the ground [Pre-Chorus] Now, I wonder what object one might use in this little gravitational experiment? Hmmm... [Chorus] Why don't you throw your landlord out the window? How long 'til he hits the ground? Throw your landlord out the window And make sure that he makes a sound Like AAAAAAAGH! Must have tripped over the cat [Verse 2] Gravity pulls things towards the earth At 32 feet per second squared The formula used for free fall Is h equals half of gt squared T represents the time in seconds H represents the height of fall But height is twenty five, we know So it's t for which we need to solve Let's multiply both sides by two Divide by g, and take the square root That leaves us with a formula Of the square root of 2h/g=t [Pre-Chorus] We'll put the numbers in a number line, but it's important right now to not forget the purpose of this this problem: [Chorus] To throw your landlord out the window How long 'til he hits the ground? Throw your landlord out the window Make sure that he makes a sound Like AAAAAAAGH! Must have tripped over the carpeting [Verse 3] Put in the numbers, and h/g Becomes 25 over 32 Multiply by two and that Gives 50 over 32 To get the square root, we have To multiply by 2 over 2 This gives us 100 over 64 But doesn't change the value The square root of that is ten over eight And that factors down to five over four And that's the answer--the number of seconds From the third floor window express to the door [Pre-Chorus] And that's the answer! That's how long it would take if you wanted to go and, uh, well, heh heh, uhh... [Chorus] To throw your landlord out the window How long 'til he hits the ground? Throw your landlord out the window Make sure that he makes a sound And remember to throw him from the north window, 'cause things fall slower near the equator! Throw your landlord out the window How long 'til he hits the ground? Throw your landlord out the window Make sure that he makes a sound
