Lyrics
[Scooter:] When school lets out I race right home I'm faster than the bus, I just can't wait to see my friend Who's come to live with us

He's quite unique this friend of mine Like none you've ever seen He's full of fancy circuitry Instead of fingers he has keys And where a normal face should be he's got a special screen

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips

[Scooter:] Mr. Chips is quite a whiz, he works with lightening speed He gives me information and the answers that I need He's got a super memory, but I'm what makes him tick He's programmed so that he reacts when I feed him data Those are facts, he sorts them out and answers back You ought to see how quick!

[Mr. Chips:] Anything you can do with paper and pencil I can do faster

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips

[Scooter:] Ok Mr. Chips, let's show These kids how much we know I type my questions on his keys to set my pal in motion Name the states that border on the great Pacific Ocean

He's sure to have the answers if the program all was right He searches all his data through And feeds back names of four or two

I knew I could depend on you Hey Chips, you're out of sight

[Mr. Chips:] It was nothing

[Scooter:] There's just no end to what we do with Mr. Chips around He helps me with my homework so I really get it down He prints the checks that pay the bills He stores up dates and names He files facts, makes shopping lists He tells us birthdays not to miss And then on top of all this he's great at playing games

[Mr. Chips:] I'm free, I win Sorry

Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips Scooter Computer and Mr. Chips They've got the answers at their fingertips
