Rope and a yardstick

 

How do you measure the distance

From  DC to Saskatoon

Rope and a yardstick

Rope and a yardstick

 

How do you measure

The distance to the Moon

Rope and a yardstick

Rope and a yardstick

 

Rope and a yardstick

What a thrill

One’s strong and straight

One’s flexible

 

How do you measure the distance

From the Earth to the new James Webb

Rope and a yardstick

Rope and a yardstick

 

How do you measure

Manute Bol’s legs

Rope and a yardstick

Rope and a yardstick
