Number Cruncher lyrics by Schoolhouse Rock

Scooter Computer
Baseball’s supposed to be fun
Can’t wait to hit a home run
But they got me playing the wrong position
Since they made me the statistician
I’m in numbers up to my ears
This is going to take me years and years and years and years and years

Mr. Chips
Numbers?
Scooter, did you say numbers?

Scooter Computer
Yes, numbers, Mr. Chips
Batting averages, earned run averages, team standings
I can probably figure this stuff out, but I’ll miss batting practice

Mr. Chips
Feed me those numbers
I’ll do the work

Scooter Computer
You mean

Mr. Chips
Precisely
Sit down Scootеr, you’re in for a treat
Numbers, you see, arе just my meat
Because I’m a number cruncher
A mathematical muncher
I can round numbers off, I can square them
I can line numbers up and compare them
I can change them around, rearrange them around
I can deal with them in any way you choose
I’m not a math professor
I am a data processor
I can mix numbers up and combine them
I can take them apart and align them
I can shake numbers up, I can break numbers up
I can turn then into something you can use
If you can punch them
I can crunch them
Because I’m a number cruncher

Scooter Computer
Mr. Chips, you’re amazing

Mr. Chips
Elementary Scooter
A piece of cake
Just feed me the numbers and I’ll process them for you

Scooter Computer
In other words, I punch them

Mr. Chips
Precisely, and I crunch them
I process numbers as quick as a flash
For whatever results you need
I process numbers into measuring tools
To measure sound, and time, and speed
I process numbers to find just how fast
A rocket can get to Mars
I project the future and recall the past
And I can show you a map of the stars

Scooter Computer
Wow

Mr. Chips
I process numbers into curves and lines
Display them on a graph or chart
I process numbers into colors and shapes
To make a digital work of art
A work of art
Because I’m a number cruncher
A mathematical muncher
I can round numbers off, I can square them
I can line numbers up and compare them
I can change then around, rearrange them around
I can deal with them in any way you choose
I’m not a math professor
I am a data processor
I can mix numbers up and combine them
I can take them apart and align them
I can shake numbers up, I can break numbers up
I can turn then into something you can use

Scooter Computer
My baseball statistics?

Mr. Chips
A piece of cake
But remember
First you have to punch them

Scooter Computer
I know, then you can crunch them
Because you’re a number cruncher

Mr. Chips
Precisely
