Lyrics

The first law of thermodynamics: Heat is work and work is heat. Heat is work and work is heat. Very good. The second law of thermodynamics: Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body. Heat cannot of itself pass from one body to a hotter body. Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter. Heat won't pass from a cooler to a hotter. You can try it if you like but you far better not-er! You can try it if you like but you far better not-er! 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a rule-r, 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a rule-r, Because the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler 'Cause the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler First Law: Heat is work and work is heat and work is heat and heat is work. Heat will pass by conduction. Heat will pass by conduction. Heat will pass by convection. Heat will pass by convection. Heat will pass by radiation. Heat will pass by radiation. And that's a physical law! Heat is work, and work's a curse And all the heat in the universe Is gonna cool down 'Cause it can't increase Then there'll be no more work And there'll be perfect peace Really? Yeah, that's entropy, man! And all because of the second law of thermodynamics, which lays down: That you can't pass heat from a cooler to a hotter Try it if you like but you far better not-er 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a rule-r 'Cause the hotter body's heat will pass to the cooler Oh, you can't pass heat from the cooler to the hotter You can try it if you like but you'll only look a fool-er 'Cause the cold in the cooler will get hotter as a ruler And that's a physical law... Oh, I'm hot! Hot? That's because you've been working! Oh, Beatles nothing! And that's the first and second law of thermodynamics!
