Scott became famous for freezing to death in Antarctica
Columbus made history thinking some island was India
General Custer's a national hero for not knowing when to run
All these men are famous, and they're all so very dumb
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you wanna place in the history books
Then do something dumb before you die
Nobility are famous for no reason
Marie Antoinette enjoyed her kink
She caused a Revolution when she would not share
And her husband lost his head for that mistake
The Hindenburg was a giant zeppelin
His makers made a minor oversight
Before they filled it up with explosive gas
They should have fixed the "No Smoking" light
'Cause!
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you wanna 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 sons and daughters seem too lazy
Sitting there watching that TV
Just remember you should be quite grateful
At least they're not making history
'Cause
History is made by stupid people
Clever people wouldn't even try
If you wanna 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
