Daniel Levitin - Darwin Song #2

Now Charles Darwin had this big idea
It's hardly charming and if it ain't clear
It all comes down to this
We're descended from fish

Now lots of people think this doesn't make sense
But they don't let facts disturb their ignorance
They can't conceive of a god
Who'd have us coming from cod

Natural selection is the big idea
There's two other parts and they're just as clear
They're descent with modification
And random mutation

Some days I feel as though I can't escape
The close connection that I have to an ape
I'm like my knuckle-dragging cousin
I think I'd make a bad husband

And though I've tried so hard to evolve
I can't run in love 'til I learn to crawl
So I crawl back to you - will you forgive me soon?
It all comes down to this: you're my only wish

And yes I know I'm kind of funky
It's 'cause I come from a monkey
It doesn't take much to see this
I'm a lot like a rhesus
And though I'm just a gorilla
Let me be your fella
If you'll extend your hand
I'll be your orang-a-tan
This thing is killing me
I want to be your chimpanzee
And I'll crawl back to the seas
If you'll forgive me please
