(WE DON'T NEED A TEMPERATURE SCALE TO KNOW IT'S COLD OUTSIDE
WE CAN SEE THE BREATH WE EXHALE
SO WE DON'T NEED A TEMPERATURE SCALE)

OH BOY OH IT'S ONE CRAZY FREEZER HERE TONIGHT
IT DOESN'T TAKE FOREVER - THAT'S A LIE
THIS BRASS MONKEY WEATHER ONLY LASTS FOR THE WINTER TIME - ALL RIGHT
IT'S OFTEN CLOSE TO THIRTY IN JULY

SEE WE DON'T USE THE FAHRENHEIT SCALE ALLTHOUGH YOU MAY
IS IT SILLY NO IT ISN'T I'M AFRAID
SEE WHEN WE SAY THIRTY DEGREES IT'S QUITE A LOVELY DAY
IN CELSIUS YOU'RE CALLING CENTIGRADE

(WE DON'T USE THE FAHRENHEIT SCALE TO TELL THE TEMPERATURE
WE DON'T USE THE KELVINS ALL THE TIME)

NO WE DON'T USE THE FAHRENHEIT SCALE - YOU WONDER WHY
OR MEASURES LIKE A GALLON OR A MILE
WE USE SI-UNITS LIKE A KILO YOU MAYBE OUGHT TO TRY
A LITRE OR A METRE FOR A WHILE

BUT NO - YOU CHERISH YOUR RESISTANCE JUST LIKE A HOLY GRAIL
TOO STUBBORN AND RELIGIOUS FOR TODAY
SO MAYBE THE TIME ONLY SHOWS US WHICH SYSTEM WILL PREVAIL
IMPERIAL OR METRIC ON THE WAY

(THE FAHRENHEIT SCALE
IT'S JUST SO IMPRACTICAL YOU KNOW
FOR EXAMPLE FOR THE METEO-
YOU KNOW THE WEATHER FORECAST GUYS
IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY ADVANTAGE IN A TEMPERATURE SCALE
WITH THE FREEZING POINT OF WATER MARKED AS ZERO
THEN YOU OBVIOUSLY LIVE IN A REGION
WHERE IT HARDLY EVER SNOWS
BUT THEN AGAIN
MAYBE IT'S JUST WHAT YOU'RE USED TO
WHO KNOWS)
