[Algy's Verse:]
History proves
Since the world first began
Wonderful things have been discovered by man
Though to discover has not been my plan
I'm a discoverer too
Tho' I know my name
Won't be known to fame
This much is true
[Refrain:]
Columbus discovered America
Hudson discovered New York
Benjamin Franklin discovered the spark
That Edison discovered would light up the dark
Marconi discovered the wireless telegraph
Across the ocean blue
But the greatest discovery was
When you discovered me and I discovered you
[Stella's Verse:]
History proves
Since the world first began
Ev'rything great was not discovered by man
Girls can discover what men never can
I'm a discoverer too
Tho' I'll never be
Known to history
This much is true
