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

OOhh
