[Verse 1]
Particle Man, Particle Man
Doing the things a particle can
What's he like? It's not important
Particle Man

Or does the water get him instead?
Nobody knows, Particle Man
[Chorus]
Triangle Man, Triangle Man
Triangle Man hates Particle Man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Man
[Verse 2]
Universe Man, Universe Man
Size of the entire universe, man
Usually kind to smaller man

And when they meet it's a happy land
Powerful man, Universe Man

Person Man
Is he depressed or is he a mess?
Does he feel totally worthless?
Who came up with Person Man?
Degraded man, Person Man
[Chorus]
Triangle Man, Triangle Man
Triangle Man hates Person Man
They have a fight, Triangle wins
Triangle Man
