Lyrics
Intro
(Alright boys, pull up a stool.)
(I’m gonna tell you how the pyramids really got there.)
(And I brought my calculator.)
(One, two, three, four!)
Verse
Well lemme tell ya ‘bout a gizmo from a desert far away
They called that thing a Gaser, shot a beam clean through the day
It weren’t no laser pointer, weren’t no tractor, truck, or rig
It was a cosmic cattle-proddin’ ray that built them pyramids big
Old Khufu wasn’t buildin’ tombs, no sir, that ain’t the tale
He was tunin’ up a planet-engine, ridin’ on a cosmic rail
Chorus
Yeehaw, that Maser Earth, where the cowboys rode the sky
Height divided by half the base gives you that Golden Phi
Take the height and scale it up by 43,200 times
You get the polar radius in these honky-tonk rhymes
Base times the same gives the equator wide
It’s the Maser Earth proportion on a wild rodeo ride!
Verse
Now let’s look at the numbers, two-thirty on a side
And the height was one-forty-six meters before the capstone died
The slope is 51-point-8, a number smooth and clean
And the pi-ratio in the perimeter is the slickest trick I’ve seen
Four sides add up to 2-Pi-R, if R is the height you see
So the pyramid’s like a stone guitar playing Earth’s geometry!
Bridge
Now the Earth was spinnin’ sideways, like a bronco gone insane
Till the Rodrigues rigid-body math roped that sucker in again
They tilted her back proper, fixed the crust like twistin’ wire
Set the Emquator straight and true like a fence post in the fire
Them Birkeland currents bucked and snapped like lightning on a spree
Turned the sand to ORMUS gold for all the world to see!
Verse
Now the Gaser didn’t lift no rocks, didn’t haul no limestone blocks
It just sang a tune of cymatics, shook the ground like tickin’ clocks
The stones all hopped together, like they knew just where to go
Stacked themselves up neat and tidy in a perfect desert row
When the beam hit the water and the water hit the air
That diamond shield came rainin’ down like a county fair!
Chorus
Yeehaw, that Maser Earth, where the cowboys rode the sky
Height divided by half the base gives you that Golden Phi
Take the height and scale it up by 43,200 times
You get the polar radius in these honky-tonk rhymes
Base times the same gives the equator wide
It’s the Maser Earth proportion on a wild rodeo ride!
Outro
(Yeah, 43,200...)
(That's the scale, boys.)
(Don't let the history books fool ya.)
(It was a Gaser!)
(Yeehaw!)
