Life is made out of cells |
|
Cells make copies of themselves |
|
And they make copies of themselves |
|
And they make copies of themselves |
|
Different cells have different jobs |
|
But they all have one thing in common |
|
Inside of every cell is a twisted ladder |
|
A recipe for life called |
|
DNAThe directions are written out in the ladder's rungs |
|
Where they can be found |
|
In every cell of everything that lives |
|
A cell knows what it has to do |
|
To grow into some moss or a shrew |
|
Algae or a kangaroo, bug or a sunflower |
|
Dwight David |
|
Eisenhower, a frog, a fish or you |
|
Cells are small, too small to see |
|
But together they can make a tree |
|
Within the cell there's a tiny spiral staircase |
|
That tells the cell just how it's going to grow |
|
The instructions are spelled out in letters, one on every step |
|
In a language that the cell knows how to read |
|
Inside the cell is a tiny double helix |
|
Another fancy word for |
|
DNAWhich could also be a spiral staircase |
|
Which could also be a twisted ladder |
|
Which could also be a spring |
|
Which could also be a spiral staircase |
|
Which could also be a twisted ladder |
|
Or a crazy looking spring, yeah |
