The Narrator introduces Charles Goodyear and his motivations in life.

lyrics

[Chorus:]
He just wants to be remembered
Take his place in history
He'll be known as the genius inventor
How he's gonna do it is a mystery.

He's been bankrupt before
(Charles: Now I'm better informed!)
He is the man for the task;
He will do the graft.
(Everyone that castigated me
Will know they underestimated me!)

[Repeat Chorus]

Charles: Gonna show those who (castigated me)
My mother, she (castigated me)
My teachers, they (castigated me)
Everyone that (castigated me)

(Rap)
I have worth, even if you don't see it.
Ever since my birth I was destined to be it:
The greatest inventor of the modern age.
Quite the part to play! Why are you standing on my stage?

Narrator: Oh I'm in your way? I'm a bit-part? Clarissa - an upstart?
Charles: I won't be held back by a dewy-eyed sweetheart.
Narrator: Mm-hmm, if she wants to grow a garden
She can tend it - right?
Charles: This is my purpose - I don't have to defend it - yikes!

Clarissa: I haven't had a lot to say yet
I'm looking after my kids most of every day, but
If anyone can do it, it's my button-man
Cos when he gets the bit between his teeth
He's a firebrand.

[Repeat Chorus]
