Scott became famous for freezing to death in Antarc-ti-ca
Columbus made history thinking some island was In-di-a
General Custer's a national hero for not knowing when to run...
All of these men are famous... And they're also very dumb!

History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die!

Nobility are famous for no reason
Mary Antoinette enjoyed her cake
She caused a revolution when she would not share
And her husband lost his head for that mistake

The Hindenburg was a giant zeppelin
Its makers made a minor oversight
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should've fixed the "No Smoking" lights!

'Cause...

History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die!

Tally-ho, tally-ho! Our king and country's honor we will save!
Tally-ho, tally-ho! We're marching into history and the grave!

So if your son or daughter seem too lazy
Sitting there and watching Mad TV
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they aren't making history!

'Cause...

History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you want a place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die!
(Yes!)
Do something dumb before you die!
(Yes!)
Do something dumb before you die!
