[Algy:] History proves
since the World first began,
Wonderful things have been discovered by man,
though to discover has not been my plan,
I'm a discoverer too,
tho' I know my name
won't be known to fame
this much is true,

Columbus discovered America
Hudson discovered New York,
Benjamin Franklin discovered the spark,
that Edison discovered would light up the dark,
Marconi discovered the wireless telegraph
across the ocean blue,
but the greatest discovery was
when you discovered me and
I discovered you.

[Stella:] History proves
since the World first began,
ev'rything great was not discovered by man,
girls can discover what men never can,
I'm a discoverer too,
tho' I'll never be
known to history
this much is true,

Columbus discovered America
Hudson discovered New York,
Benjamin Franklin discovered the spark,
that Edison discovered would light up the dark,
