[Verse]
D A/C#
Went to buy me a paper at the local news-stand
Bm G
And then I heard them laugh and say

Look, they're gonna go flying way up to the moon now

Hey, what's it good for anyway?

So I said, Fellas

Like to ask you a thing if I may
[Chorus]
A
What about Livingstone?
E
What about all those men?

Who have sacrificed their lives to lead the way
A
Tell me, wasn't it worth the while

Travelling up the Nile

Didn't that help the rest?

Wasn't it worth it then?

What about Livingstone?
