The Standard Metric System

The standard metric system measures distances and weights
For mass and volume, length and height, it's used to calculate
Compared to standard US measures, one can plainly see
The metric systems blunt efficiency

Yard versus metre
Quart versus litre
The pound squares off against the kilogram, you see
A decimal equation
Defines the US nation
As fools afraid to change their terminology

The world has the kilometer, and we have got our mile
The time has come to face the facts and face them with a smile
So if those foreign weirdos try to ask us to conform
We'll blow their stupid countries all to hell
