Town Of Round Lyrics

Back in the days when the world was flat
Before Columbus and all of that
In the town of round there lived a square
The only square anywhere
He had no family, had no friends
All the rounds around would recommend
He be like them or leave their town
Squares don't fit in a town for rounds

But if you're a square, it's hard to move
'Cause your corners dig in and you find that you've

A strange thing happened that you wouldn't believe.

They rolled and tumbled and couldn't get a hold
Kept bumping around uncontrolled.
They bounced and banged and when they'd hit
They chipped and dented, cracked and split
Into triangles, into squares
Semi-circles were everywhere
And all of a sudden they realized
Everybody was a different size
A different size and a different shape
And squares all over the whole landscape
And that's the way it came to be
I'm not talkin' 'bout geometry
Seems a little bit unfair
Start out round, end up square
