Glass of milk | |
Standing in between extinction in the cold | |
and explosive radiating growth | |
So the warm blood flows | |
Through the large four-chambered heart | |
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have | |
Mammal, mammal | |
Their names are called | |
They raise a paw | |
The bat, the cat | |
Dolphin and dog | |
Koala bear and hog | |
One of us might lose his hair | |
But you're reminded that it once was there | |
From the embryonic whale to the monkey with no tail | |
So the warm blood flows | |
with the red blood cells lacking nuclei | |
Through the large four-chambered heart | |
Maintaining the very high metabolism rate they have | |
Mammal, mammal | |
Their names are called | |
They raise a paw | |
The bat, the cat | |
Dolphin and dog | |
Koala bear and hog | |
Placental the sister of her brother Marsupial | |
Their cousin called Monotreme | |
Dead uncle Allotheria | |
Mammal, mammal | |
Their names are called | |
They raise a paw | |
The bat, the cat | |
Dolphin and dog | |
Koala bear and hog | |
The fox, the ox | |
Giraffe and shrew | |
Echidna, caribou |
