There's a girl in town they call her Forty-Two
She's got the answers yeah she knows what's true
But when you ask her somethin' she'll look you in the eye
And give you an answer that'll make your head fly
Oh 42 what you sayin' now?
You got the truth but we don't know how
You got the answers but the words don't stick
You're a mystery girl you're a cosmic trick
She'll tell you the secrets of the universe wide
But the way she speaks man it's all inside
You think you're askin' 'bout the weather today
She'll talk about stars a million miles away
Oh 42 what you sayin' now?
You got the truth but we don't know how
You got the answers but the words don't stick
You're a mystery girl you're a cosmic trick
People call her strange yeah they just don't see
She's got a mind that's wild it's a galaxy
But when you're lost and you're feelin' down
She'll give you a smile turn your world around
She's livin' in a world that's two steps ahead
Talkin' in riddles or so it's said
But there's a truth in her that no one can deny
She's a walkin' mystery a genius in disguise
Oh 42 what you sayin' now?
You got the truth but we don't know how
You got the answers but the words don't stick
You're a mystery girl you're a cosmic trick
So here's to Forty-Two she's one of a kind
She's got the answers but they're hard to find
In a world that's lost she's a shining clue
But we're too blind to see what's true
