The Belle Isle Rats - High Level Math Lyrics

"Add it up, baby!"

Born and raised in Mobile
And it ain't no big deal
But I never fit in
When my buddies were fishin'
I had a different ambition
Playin' around in base 10

I prefer decimals to drinkin'
I'll be on my front porch swing just thinkin'
And I'd rather divide than take a midnight ride
In a pickup truck with a girlfriend
I'll do some

Long division, multiplication
Addition, subtraction
Complex calculations
Calculus and differential equations
Yeah I'm an Alabama abberation
My buddies all think I'm headin'
Down the wrong path
'Cause I like to stay at home doin'
High level math

Chuck's an ex city slicker
Who wanted to make liquor
But he didn't know how
And Ol' Hanks tractor
It's a rusty old scrapper
Well it just kept breakin' down

And so I did some computations
And fixed both of their situations
Now Charlie's Bourbon was born
And good ol' Hank is shuckin' corn
Yeah the Number Ninja does it again
Because I did some

Long division, multiplication
Addition, subtraction
Complex calculations
Calculus and differential equations
Yeah I'm an Alabama abberation
My buddies all think I'm headin'
Down the wrong path
'Cause I like to stay at home doin'
High level math

Around 3:00 am, I get a call from Clem
Him and Buck are lost, they got their signals crossed
Took a few wrong turns, and now they're both concerned
Can't find their way back from the honky tonk
Dragged myself out of bed, tracked them with GPS
Triangulated their position tryin to end their expedition
Told them to turn back, make a left at the shack
And now they're on the road
Happy to be headin' home

Long division, multiplication
Addition, subtraction
Complex calculations
Calculus and differential equations
Yeah I'm an Alabama abberation
And now my friends all know
Just what saved their ass
It was their nerdy buddy
And some High level math

Oh high level math oh
I just want the right answer
High level math
For my buddies and me
