Lyrics

Science can save us, science can save us
I stay home all the time and it’s trying my patience
Science is why I’m currently in hibernation
And science is how we stop viral invasions

Yeah science can save us, science can save us
Staying home all day and it’s trying my patience
Hibernation, necessary arrangement
To stay onside of public health violations

Boston, Museum of Science, we’re locked in
So this goes out to all the people watchin’
In pajamas and socks, I got bars for them
This is the Rap Up! The end of the stars of STEM

So shout out to Tim Richie, welcome to the family
We’re happy that you moved here from Silicone Valley
Where you ran the Tech Interactive
2020, you chose a good year to make it happen

Crisis management, I feel for you soldier
But look at all the people online who showed up
So I guess the transition to virtual is workin’
Shout out to every VIP – Virtually Important Person

I’m virtually important too, plus virtually famous
That’s happens when random people know what your name is
And not even millions, I’m talking one to three
That’s how many donors we gotta get for Fund-A-Need

Just ask Leilani Germain, and Jack running free
With the museum to himself, he visited once a week
His entire life, until COVID-19
And now he’s back and he gets a whole tour behind the scenes

And that’s not to diminish the whole workflow
Vanessa Cerullo, MoS at Home
That curriculum is straight filling a need
Cause hey, Engineering is Elementary

And MoS at Home is connecting to folks
Through Francisca Moraga en Espanol
So that diverse communities get to buy-in
If you WonderFund it, the kids get to try it

Inequalities out there are not fair
But we can reach DCF youth in foster care
Through scholarships and entry fee wavers
Ask Massachusetts First Lady Lauren Baker

STEM Education is what the kids need
Inclusively, in all communities
So shout out to STEM Geeks from an MC
Who reps 365 and not just in STEM Week

But it’s STEM Week up in Massachusetts 
You have a brain and you can choose to use it
Comprehension is useful and neeto!
Ask Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito

And shout out to Dell for doing so well
The 2020 Star of STEM, for giving help
To underserved students, so they can excel
And never expel their inner STEM selves

Congratulations, that award isn’t subtle
But you were very graceful about it, Kristi Hummel
Even in the face of applause, stay humble
Cause ego is known to make a stage crumble

Yeah, I twist lyrics like a brain pretzel
Gotta shout out to my man James Wetzel
Adult Programs had an insane schedule
But I know this whole COVID thing has been stressful

For me too! I hope the Zoom Rap is working
I was supposed to do this track in person
On stage at a gala, and be that be that nerd rapper
And drink champagne and eat hors d’oevres after

But I can still settle for a virtual song
Bring it on, at least until the pandemic is gone
And for that, we’re gonna need STEM Education
So support the museum, cause only science can save us

Science can save us, science can save us
I stay home all the time and it’s trying my patience
Science is why I’m currently in hibernation
And science is how we stop viral invasions

Science can save us, science can save us
Staying home all day and it’s trying my patience
Hibernation, necessary arrangement
The best kind of galas avoid 
Public health violations

So stay wise

Until we can socialize safely
