Lobachevsky

Am   Dm   E7   Am

N.C
Who made me the genius I am today,
The mathematician that others all 
quote?
Who's the professor that made me 
that way,
The greatest that ever got chalk on 
his coat?

[Chorus]

E7  Am     Am G      Am F   Am G
One man deserves the credit,
    Am     Am G      Am F   Am G
One man deserves the blame,
    Am  Am G Am F Am G    E7
and Nicolai Ivanovich 
             Am
Lobachevsky is his name. Oy!
Am                    E7
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache...


[Verse 1]

N.C
I am never forget the day I first 
meet the great Lobachevsky.
In one word he told me secret of 
success in mathematics: Plagiarize!

E7 Am
   Plagiarise,
                        Dm
Let no one else's work evade your 
eyes,
                           E7
Remember why the good Lord made your
 eyes,
         Am
So don't shade your eyes,
    Dm          E7        
But plagiarise, plagiarise, 
  Am
plagiarise...
N.C
Only be sure always to call it 
please, "research".


[Chorus]

E7  Am     Am G      Am F  Am 
And ever since I meet this man
G   Am      Am G    Am F  Am G
 my life is not the same,
    Am  Am G Am F Am G    E7
And Nicolai Ivanovich 
             Am
Lobachevsky is his name. Oy!
Am                    E7
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache...

    Bbdim     Adim    Abdim
Topology of Locally Euclidean 
          Gdim
Metrization
   F#dim            Fdim   
of Infinitely Differentiable 
     Edim    Ebdim
Riemannian Manifold.
N.C
Bozhe moi!
                               Dm  
This I know from nothing. What    I
          E7        Am
 am going    to do?

But I think of great Lobachevsky and
 I get idea - haha!


G7 C                G7
I  have a friend in Minsk,
    G7              C
Who has a friend in Pinsk,
      C                  G7
Whose friend in Omsk has friend in 
Tomsk
     G7            C
With friend in Akmolinsk.
    C               G7
His friend in Alexandrovsk
    G7                C
Has friend in Petropavlovsk,
      C                 G7
Whose friend somehow is solving now
    G7                  C
The problem in Dnepropetrovsk.
    C                G7
And when his work is done -
  G7               C
Haha! - begins the fun.
     G7               
From Dnepropetrovsk to 
 C
Petropavlovsk,
   G7                 C
By way of Iliysk, And Novorossiysk,
   G7               C
To Alexandrovsk to Akmolinsk
   G7
To Tomsk to Omsk
   G7
To Pinsk to Minsk
   D7               G7
To me the news will run,
        D7               G7
Yes, to me the news will run!
    G7
And then I write by morning, night,
    C
And afternoon, and pretty soon
   G7
My name in Dnepropetrovsk is cursed,
     C
When he finds out I published first!


[Chorus]

E7  Am       Am G Am F   Am G
And who made me a big success
    Am         Am G       Am F  
And brought me wealth and fame?
 Am G

Am  Am G Am F Am G    E7   
Nicolai Ivanovich 
          Am
Lobachevsky is his name. Oy!
Am                    E7
Nicolai Ivanovich Lobache...


[Verse 3]

N.C
I am never forget the day my first 
book is published.
Every chapter I stole from somewhere
 else.
Index I copy from old Vladivostok 
telephone directory.
This book, this book was 
sensational!
Pravda - ah, Pravda - Pravda said:
"Jeel beel kara ogoday blyum blocha 
jeli," ("It stinks").
But Izvestia! Izvestia said:
"Jai, do gudoo sun sai pere shcum," 
("It stinks").
Metro-Goldwyn-Moskva bought the 
movie rights for six million rubles,
Changing title to 'The Eternal 
Triangle',
With Ingrid Bergman playing part of 
hypotenuse.

[Chorus]

E7  Am    Am G       Am F    Am G
And who deserves the credit?
    Am    Am G       Am F    Am G
And who deserves the blame?
Am  Am G Am F Am G    E7   
Nicolai Ivanovich 
          Am
Lobachevsky is his name.
Am Dm E7 Am
             Oy!
