"'Push it Up the 'Inclined Plane" is an original song from the Sid the Science Kid episode "My Slide". The song, sung by Susie, describes the process the Egyptians used to build the pyramids - by pushing giant blocks up inclined planes.

HEAVE HO
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
THAT SIMPLE MACHINE SAVES LOTS OF STRESS AND STRENGTH
IF YOU WANNA BIULD A PYRAMID
DO WHAT THE EGYPTIANS DID
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
AT FIRST THEY’D TRIED TO LIFT STONES
BUT THEY GOT ACHES AND CRAMPS
THEY’D FIGURED OUT IT’S EASIER TO USE A SYSTEM OR RAMPS
THEY MADE A SMOOTH SURFACE
AND YEAH IT DOES THE TRICK
THEY BUILD A PYRAMID PRETTY DARN QUICK
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THAT WAS REALLY USING THEIR BRAIN
IF YOU WANNA BIULD A PYRAMID
DO WHAT THE EGYPTIANS DID
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
IT REALLY LOOKS IMPOSSIBLE
BUT THEY DID IT TO SEE
THEY’D PUSH THE STONES OF THE INCLINED PLANE
GRADUALLY GRADUALLY
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
THAT SIMPLE MACHINE SAVES LOTS OF STRESS AND STRENGTH
IF YOU WANNA BIULD A PYRAMID
DO WHAT THE EGYPTIANS DID
PUSH IT UP PUSH IT UP THE INCLINED PLANE
