[Intro]
G C Em D
G C G  D
[Verse]
GWhaCt's a Empirate Dminus the Gship?
CJust a Emcreative Dhomeless Gguy,
CAnd an Emanteater plus a Dlarge hungry mutant GantC?
An Emironic Dway to Gdie
CAnd what's Emdomain, Ddomain, Grange (xxy)C  
A Emkid with too Dmuch in his GpantsC  
And two Emballs Dminus Gone,
CSix Emtitles at the DTour de GFrance
[Pre-Chorus]
GSplit a Cdecision with Emlong Ddivision,
GTake the Ccircumference of Emyour Dcircumcision
GLive like Cyour data and Emwhen you're all D"set"
GPut it all Ctogether and Emwhatever you Dget
[Chorus]
It's new Gmath.C..Em  D  
It's new Gmath.C..G  D  
[Verse]
And GwhaCt's a bag of Emchips diDvided by GfivCe,
That's a EmNike Dworker's GmeaCl
And Santa EmClause multiDplied by "GI"C  
Well, I Emguess that Dmakes him GreaCl
And the square Emroot of the DNBAG  C  
Is EmAfrica Din a GboxC  
How do you Emtrace a Dscatter GplotC?
You give the Empencil to DMichael J. GFoCxEm  D  G  C  G  D  
[Pre-Chorus]
GTake the apCproximate Emmoral proDportion
Of the Gprobable Cproblem of a Empro-life aDbortion
GLive like your Cdata, and Emwhen you're all "Dset"
GPut it all toCgether and whatEmever you Dget...
[Chorus]
It's new GmaCthEm  D  
It's new GmaCthG  D  
[Verse]
And Gif you Ctook a Emfactor Dtree
Of the Gfactors that Ccaused my Emgirl to leave Dme
You'd have a GtreCe...Emfull of DAsian GpoCrnEm.D  
GC-A-CL-EmC-U-DLATOR (see you later)
MatheGmatical Cminds make inEmdustrial Dsmog
And Gwhat's the Copposite of Emln(Dx),
GDuraCflame the Emunnatural Dlog
[Pre-Chorus]
SupGport the Cfarmers with a Empro-Dtractor,
Link GKennedy and CLincoln with a Emcommon Dfactor (fact, or)
GLive like your Cdata, and Emwhen you're all Dset
GPut it all toCgether and whatEmever you Dget
[Chorus]
It's new GmaCthEm  D  
It's new GmaCthG  D  
[Verse]
Word problems!
If there's a Gfat Cguy in a Empastry Dshop
With a Gtwenty dollar Cbill and he's Emready to Dbuy,
In Gorder to preCdict his Emvolume Dchange
You'll Gneed to Cknow the Emvalue of Dpi (pie)
And if there's a Gmetal Ctrain that's a Emmile Dlong
And at the Gvery back Cend a Emlightning bolt Dstruck her,
GHow long 'til it Creaches and Emkills the Ddriver,
GProvided that Che's a Emgood conDductor
And if Gten perCcent of Emmen are Dgay and
GTwenty perCcent of Emmen are ChiDnese,
GWhat are the Codds that a man Emchosen at Drandom
Spends his Gfreetime and Cmealtime Emwhile on his Dknees
And if GKim is Chalf as Emold as DBobby
Who is Gtwo years Colder then Emtwelve year old DTori,
GFor how Cmany more Em30 day Dmonths
Will their Gthreesomes be conCsidered EmstatuDtory GraCpeEm  D  
[Verse]
Cause Ghavin' Csex is like quaEmdratic exDpansion
If it Gcan't be Csplit then it's Emtime to Dstop,
And Ghavin' Csex is like Emdoing Dfractions,
It's imGproper for the Clarger one to Embe on Dtop,
And Ghavin' Csex is like Emmath Dhomework,
GI do it Cbest when I'm aEmlone in my Dbed
Ending
And Gsquaring Cnumbers are Emjust like Dwomen,
If they're Gunder thirCteen just Emdo them in your Dhead...
And new CmaDthG

[Intro]

G C Em D

G C G D

[Verse]

G C Em D G

What's a pirate minus the ship?

C Em D G

Just a creative homeless guy,

C Em D G C

And an anteater plus a large hungry mutant ant?

Em D G

An ironic way to die

C Em D G C

And what's domain, domain, range (xxy)

Em D G C

A kid with too much in his pants

Em D G

And two balls minus one,

C Em D G

Six titles at the Tour de France

[Pre-Chorus]

G C Em D

Split a decision with long division,

G C Em D

Take the circumference of your circumcision

G C Em D

Live like your data and when you're all "set"

G C Em D

Put it all together and whatever you get

[Chorus]

G C Em D

It's new math...

G C G D

It's new math...

[Verse]

G C Em D G C

And what's a bag of chips divided by five,

Em D G C

That's a Nike worker's meal

Em D G C

And Santa Clause multiplied by "I"

Em D G C

Well, I guess that makes him real

Em D G C

And the square root of the NBA

Em D G C

Is Africa in a box

Em D G C

How do you trace a scatter plot?

Em D G C Em D G C G D

You give the pencil to Michael J. Fox

[Pre-Chorus]

G C Em D

Take the approximate moral proportion

G C Em D

Of the probable problem of a pro-life abortion

G C Em D

Live like your data, and when you're all "set"

G C Em D

Put it all together and whatever you get...

[Chorus]

G C Em D

It's new math

G C G D

It's new math

[Verse]

G C Em D

And if you took a factor tree

G C Em D

Of the factors that caused my girl to leave me

G C Em D G C Em D

You'd have a tree...full of Asian porn.

G C Em D

C-A-L-C-U-LATOR (see you later)

G C Em D

Mathematical minds make industrial smog

G C Em D

And what's the opposite of ln(x),

G C Em D

Duraflame the unnatural log

[Pre-Chorus]

G C Em D

Support the farmers with a pro-tractor,

G C Em D

Link Kennedy and Lincoln with a common factor (fact, or)

G C Em D

Live like your data, and when you're all set

G C Em D

Put it all together and whatever you get

[Chorus]

G C Em D

It's new math

G C G D

It's new math

[Verse]

Word problems!

G C Em D

If there's a fat guy in a pastry shop

G C Em D

With a twenty dollar bill and he's ready to buy,

G C Em D

In order to predict his volume change

G C Em D

You'll need to know the value of pi (pie)

G C Em D

And if there's a metal train that's a mile long

G C Em D

And at the very back end a lightning bolt struck her,

G C Em D

How long 'til it reaches and kills the driver,

G C Em D

Provided that he's a good conductor

G C Em D

And if ten percent of men are gay and

G C Em D

Twenty percent of men are Chinese,

G C Em D

What are the odds that a man chosen at random

G C Em D

Spends his freetime and mealtime while on his knees

G C Em D

And if Kim is half as old as Bobby

G C Em D

Who is two years older then twelve year old Tori,

G C Em D

For how many more 30 day months

G C Em D G C Em D

Will their threesomes be considered statutory rape

[Verse]

G C Em D

Cause havin' sex is like quadratic expansion

G C Em D

If it can't be split then it's time to stop,

G C Em D

And havin' sex is like doing fractions,

G C Em D

It's improper for the larger one to be on top,

G C Em D

And havin' sex is like math homework,

G C Em D

I do it best when I'm alone in my bed

Ending

G C Em D

And squaring numbers are just like women,

G C Em D

If they're under thirteen just do them in your head...

C D G

And new math
