Sir Mix-a-Lot
Bill’s Got Boat
[Verse 1]
I like to sail, and I'll tell you why
Sometimes it's fun not to fly
When I wanna have fun for the round of the sun, we all can learn how it's done, you read?
Books, or you learn somehow whatever you need to know
Displacement is the reason I'm psyched, and I can't stop askin' "Please, float me, I wanna be buoyant, isn't that the point?"
The cool water could drown me, but this cool boat I got keeps me from sinkin'
Ooh, Mister Water, you say that it's just too easy
Well, tell me, show me, by the way to not confuse me
You see it floatin', there's no way it's sinkin'
'Causе it's dense, it makes sеnse
As long as somethin' weighs the same or less than the water it's displacin'
When this weight gives me a reason
Take your average object, see what you think
Does it float or sink?

[Hook]
Bill's got a boat

[Verse 2]
But, words to those cartoons
I wanna form ya, I won't diss or bore ya
But I gotta be straight when I say that I wanna float even when the boat is gone
Buoyancy's the name of this song, don't even try to tell me I'm wrong
When somethin's placed in the water, it gets pushed down with this weight
Then gravity pulls, science rules, to the top and water pushes it back
Some objects (Yeah), like bricks (Uh-huh) don't be displacin' all the air or water (Oh, woah)
But, that can be changed when the shape and form is rearranged
[Hook]
That's how things float
That's how things float
