I guess you don't watch The Simpsons. This song is from one of my favorite
episodes (my father happens to be a Freemason). If you are not familiar
(and I can't see how you wouldn't be after 20 years :) ) the show is very
tounge-in-cheek and satirical about myths, pop culture and American society
in general. They just had a 20th anniversery special and showed how people
around the world love it.
Here are the lyrics:
All: Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Karl: Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Lenny: Who keeps the Martians under wraps?
Alien: We do! We do!
All: Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Gutenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Skinner: Who robs cavefish of their sight?
Homer: Who rigs every Oscar night?
All: We do! We do!
