So you see there's something going on
This web may be looked at as a pattern, and the world is basically patterning
What else do you do?
When you come to think of it?
What else do you do?
When you come to think of it?
When you eat, you are turning food into the pattern of your skeleton
Your muscles, and your nervous system

[Chorus]
That's a pattern
And you say, you see basically “Hooray for that pattern!”
That's a pattern
That's a pattern
And you say, you see basically “Hooray for that pattern!”
That's a pattern
But then you want other patterns, you'd like to look through a microscope and see the patterns that exist in the small world
And see the patterns
You'd like to look through a kaleidoscope or a teleidoscope
And see the patterns
You'd like to have paintings around
And see the patterns
You like to watch the water play
And see the patterns
You want to watch the birds go, and the clouds and all that
Fascinating patterns
And that really does, doesn't it seem to be the point. I mean what do you do?
When you're very rich?
Take some rascal of ancient times who became very rich by all sorts of skullduggery and warfare and so on
He got himself a suit of armor
A beautiful sword
And he had the armor make the most intricate patterns
Arabesques of inlaid gold on the steel
Why?
Because it's as they say among the Pennsylvania Dutch, it’s “f’nice.”
It's a great thing to have all that jazz
And that's what we go for
That's a pattern

[Chorus]
That's a pattern
And you say, you see basically “Hooray for that pattern!”
That's a pattern
That's a pattern
And you say, you see basically “Hooray for that pattern!”
That's a pattern
But then you want other patterns, you'd like to look through a microscope and see the patterns that exist in the small world
And see the patterns
You'd like to look through a kaleidoscope or a teleidoscope
And see the patterns
You'd like to have paintings around
And see the patterns
You like to watch the water play
And see the patterns
You want to watch the birds go, and the clouds and all that
Fascinating patterns
