Facts Facts Facts
Hamilton's face is on the ten dollar bill
Vice President Burr killed him in a duel
What if they solved things like that today
The office would always be up for renewal
Over 5 billion crayons are made each year
Methinks governments buy most of them
Peter the Great taxed people who wore a beard
Tax doubled if they were other than men
Diamonds will break if hit with a hammer
Here's a solution if you allow me to add
Thrash 'em with wet noodles if you so desire
Though their brilliance may diminish a tad
Bet you didn't know that Antpitta Ridgleys
Are most definitely the strangest of birds
They walk around wobbly on stilt like legs
And bark like a dog, that's absurd
365 languages are spoken in Indonesia
That's one for every day of the year
An archipelago that's larger than any other
Never lied to you before, have no fear
First bomb dropped on Berlin in the war
Killed the only elephant in the Berlin zoo
Half of the world has seen an 007 movie
It's very hard to believe but it's true
Fresh eggs sink in water, stale ones won't
Try it, you can tell if they're fresh
Drop them in cold water and check 'em out
Chuck the yucky ones out, I suggest
