Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
He researched a problem he wanted to solve
To answer his question he had to resolve
He stated his guess, an hypothesis
From non-living things life cannot exist
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis set up an experiment
An S-shaped tube that would prevent
Microbes from gettin' to a sterile broth
Without stoppin' air from goin' across
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Just as he predicted he did observe
The data was conclusive, it did not swerve
There was nothin' growin' in the sterile broth
Till Loo-eye Loo-eye lifted up the top
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Once Louis let the bacteria in
The broth turned cloudy with microbe kin
All his colleagues, they had to conclude
Louis proved his point without being rude
cuz Louis, Louis ... had used, the scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... had used, the scientific method, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Louis, Louis ... Paaasteur, scientific method
