thanks from the whole working group for his many
contributions to the field and for his boundless

The Man from Goettingen
(to the tune of The Girl from Ipanema)


Tall and tanned and older and lovely
the Man from Goettingen starts talking
and when he talks
each student who listens
goes Aaaaah!

When he talks it's like a rumble
that educates us and gives us knowledge
and when he talks
each student who listens
goes Aaaaah!

Oh - but we're watching so gladly
How - can we tell him we thank him
We - would give him more time gladly

If he would just tell us more inductee
So we could learn as much as he

Tall and tanned and older and lovely
the Man from Goettingen starts talking
and when he talks
we listen.....
and we really thank he
Yes! we really thank he
Oh, we really thank he
