Lyrics:

Jagadish Chandra Bose was a hit with the hoes
So prolific with the scientific and fiction prose
A Hindu man, a handy man, he also was an Indian
Here in America, almost nobody knows

That Jagadish Chandra Bose had a mind like a rose
With just as many layers, just as lovely how it grows
He taught us about plants and then he fixed our radios
Everybody living owes a bit to Jagadish Chandra Bose

Oh, Jagadish accom-pa-lished so much back in his day
If he could see you and me, I wonder what he'd say
I bet he'd say
"The world is full of fascinating things to see and do
And if you'd get off the fucking Internet
You might accomplish something too"

Jagadish Chandra Bose was a man, I suppose
Though it seems almost supernatural, how many things he knows
He studied botany, biology, physics and archaeology
At Presidency College, he's the man, Jagadish Chandra Bose

Oh, Jagadish accom-pa-lished everything he undertook
And you could do some cool stuff too if you'd pick up a fucking book
'Cause your PS3, your Nintendo Wii, and all your TV shows
None of them mean a goddamn thing
Compared to Jagadish Chandra Bose

Jagadish Chandra Bose is a feast for the crows
Time had its way with him, and that's just how it goes
But at least we have his science and his science fiction prose
To remind us of the life of the man Jagadish Chandra Bose

Oh, Jagadish accom-pa-lished so much back in his day
If he could see you and me, I wonder what he'd say
I think he'd say
"The world is full of fascinating things to see and do
And if you'd get off the fucking Internet
You might accomplish something too"
