Talent Is An Asset Lyrics
Albert is smart, he's a genius
Watch Albert putter, an obvious genius
Someday he will reassess the world
And he'll still have time for lots of girls
When he grows up, he'll remember us
When he grows up, we are sure that he'll remember us
We made sure that Albert wore his mac
We kept all the strangers off his back
(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert mother said to me)
We're Albert's relatives
And he don't need any non-relatives
Talent is an asset, you've got to understand that
Talent is an asset and little Albert has it
Talent is an asset and Albert surely has it
One day he'll sever his apron strings
All of the while, he'll be scribbling his genius things
Look at Albert - isn't he a sight?
Growing, growing at the speed of light
(Go away)
Everything's relative
(Go away Albert mother said to me)
We're his relatives
And he don't need any non-relatives
Talent is an asset and little Albert has it
(Go away)
Talent is relative (go away)
That's hypothetical (go away)
We are his relatives (go away)
That's parenthetical (go away)
Spare your superlatives (go away)
There's the receptacle (go away)
There's the receptacle (go away)
Leave Albert's study room (go away)
Leave Albert's happy home (go away)
Leave Albert's neighborhood (go away)
Leave Albert's city too (go away)
Leave Albert's comfy seat (go away)
Leave Albert's country (go away)
Leave Albert's continent (go away)
Leave Albert's hemisphere (go away)
Leave Albert's planet too (go away)
Leave Albert's universe (go away)
No one must see him now (go away)
Only the medical (go away)
No one must come near him (go away)
Don't be too cynical (go away)
Don't be too critical (go away)
Cancel the magazines (go away)
They're much too political (go away)
Don't buy him any jeans (go away)
They're much too casual (go away)
Talent is relative (go away)
That's hypothetical

Yeah, it's about smart children...but one in particular named Albert Einstein. Note the scientific references---hypothetical, parenthetical, relatives, non-relatives, speed of light.
Its about smart children and how overbearing their parents can be. ta daa!
Agreed.
A song about Albert Einstein's theory of relatives.
