VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR
"Mathematics"

Here be numbers transcendental,
On an imaginary axis spun,
Decimal places without limit
And zero and one.

Mathematics,
Simply pure beyond belief.

E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi plus one is zero
E to the power of i times pi is minus one
E to the power of i times pi is minus one

A single function, exponential,
Just one addition must be done...
Multiplication in completion
Of zero, of one.

Mathematics,
Just so "wow" it brooks belief.

(You'd better believe, you'd better believe it.)
