Since they made me the statistician.
I'm in numbers up to my ears!
This is gonna take me years and years
And years and years and years.

MR. CHIPS: Numbers? Scooter, did you
say numbers?
SCOOTER: Yes, numbers, Mr. Chips.
Batting averages, earned run averages, team
standings ... I can probably figure this stuff
out, but I'll miss batting practice.
MR. CHIPS: Feed me those numbers. I'll
do the work.
SCOOTER: YOU mean ...
MR. CHIPS: Precisely!

Sit down, Scooter, you're in for a treat.
Numbers, you see, are just my meat ...

'Cause I'm a number cruncher
A mathematical muncher
I can round numbers off, I can square them
I can line numbers up and compare them
I can change them around, rearrange them
around
I can deal with them in any way you choose

I'm not a math professor,
I am a data processor.
I can mix numbers up and combine them,
I can take them apart and align them.
I can shake numbers up, I can break
numbers up,
I can turn them into something you can use.

If you can punch them,
I can crunch them
'Cause I'm a number cruncher.

SCOOTER: Mr. Chips, you're amazing!
MR. CHIPS: Elementary, Scooter. A piece
of cake. Just feed me the numbers and I'll
process them for you.
SCOOTER: In other words, I punch them ...

MR. CHIPS: Precisely, and I crunch them

I process numbers as quick as a flash
For whatever results you need.
I process numbers into measuring tools
To measure sound and time and speed
I process numbers to find just how fast
A rocket can get to Mars.
I project the future and recall the past,
And I can show you a map of the stars.

SCOOTER: WOW!

I process numbers into curves and lines,
Display them on a graph or chart.
I process numbers into colors and shapes
To make a digital work of art!

... A work of art!

'Cause I'm a number cruncher,
A mathematical muncher.
I can round numbers off, I can square them,

I can line numbers up and compare them.
I can change them around, rearrange them
around.
I can deal with them in any way you choose.

I'm not a math professor,
I am a data processor.
I can mix numbers up and combine them.
I can take them apart and align them.
I can shake numbers up, I can break
numbers up,
I can turn them into something you can use.

SCOOTER: My baseball statistics?
MR. CHIPS: A piece of cake! But
remember: First you have to punch them
SCOOTER: I know then you can crunch
them
'Cause you're a number cruncher!!!
MR. CHIPS: Precisely.
