Victim of Gravity

[Intro]
Down, down, down, down gravity

[Verse 1]
Helpin' wash the dishes, and I drop a cup
Why does everything fall down instead of up?
Ridin' up a hill, I spill and hit the ground
Wish I could fall up instead of always falling down
(Down, de-down, down, down)

[Verse 2]
I'm a victim of gravity
Everything keeps fallin' down on me
No matter where I go, that force is there I know
Just a-pullin' me down, down, down, down, down
(It's all around town now)

[Verse 3]
It's like a magnet deep inside the ground
When I lift something up, I can feel it pulling down
It pulls me in the pool, it pulls rain down on me
I'm a victim of down, down, down, down, gravity, yeah

[Bridge]
Galileo, Galileo Galilei
He did experiments with a force he couldn't see
(Could not see, yeah)
He found that all things fell to earth at the very same speed
(Very same speed, yeah)
He didn't know it yet, but that was due to gravity

[Verse 4]
The moon goes 'round the Earth and shines its silver light
The Earth goes 'round the sun and makes the seasons right
It isn't love that makes the world go round, you see
It's the power of gravity
But please, don't tell Mary Jean
(Down, de-down, down, down)

[Verse 5]
Without Earth's gravity to keep us in our place
We'd have no weight at all, we'd be in outer space
The sea would float away, and so would fields and towns
Nothin' pullin' 'em down, down, down, down, down, yeah

[Bridge]
Isaac Newton underneath the apple tree
(Apple tree, yeah)
One hit him on the head
He said, "That must be gravity!"

Newton's Law of Gravity says that every object in the Universe pulls on every other object. The bigger the object, the stronger the pull. But the greater the distance between the objects, the weaker the pull becomes
Come back, Mary Jean!

[Verse 6]
Don't call me clumsy, don't call me a fool
When things fall down on me, I'm following the rule
The rule that says that what goes up comes down, like me
I'm a victim of down, down, down, down gravity

[Outro]
Shoo-be doo, down, down, down
