Jingle Bells for Newton!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Newton's day today,

Oh, what fun it is to derive in Newton's open sleigh, hey!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Newton's day today,

Oh, what fun it is to derive in Newton's open sleigh, y prime!

A little tiny kid,

Was born on Christmas Day.

They thought he was a wimp,

And laughed at him all day! HA HA HA!

But little did they know,

He'd really had enough!

That "short giant" showed them one day,

He'd beat a bully up!

In school he was a dunce,

He didn't get good grades!

They thought that he would fail,

And not be a thing! HA HA HA!

But little did they know,

What he was to show them!

He became one of the greatest men

In the mathematics world!

He went to Trinity,

Where Isaac Barrow taught.

And in 1669,

He took over his spot! HA HA HA!

During all this time,

He began to think a lot!

Then in '87 he went

And wrote Principia!
