Jonathan Coulton - That Spells DNA Lyrics
We start the story when Mom met DadAnd they danced all night and he took her homeIt might have been all the wine they hadBut they rolled the dice and won your genomeThen you grew and you grew and one day you were youAnd you looked like your father and motherIf you're looking for someone convenient to blameYou can take your pick it's one or the otherDNA, you're in my heartDNA, in fact you're in every part of my bodyEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomesAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNAGuanine met Cytosine, fell in loveAnd then Thymine got busy with AdenineThey sent the messenger-RNATo the ribosome to make more proteinAnd while it's killing you dead it will mess with your headAnd it's the light in the dark that will guide youIt's the pages and pages of what you are likeIn the giant book that's hidden inside youDNA, you're in my heartDNA, in fact you're in every part of my bodyEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomesAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNAIf it says TGGTCGAACThen you might get the cancerIf it says GTCACGACAGGThen you shouldn't eat shrimp or nutsIf it says TATACACATATCCTCGTThen you'll probably wish that you didn't knowThe time will come when you're almost goneAnd you try to guess but you'll never knowYou do your best and you soldier onEvery day you're here till it's time to goAll the good things and bad that you do or don't haveYou can find out for sure if you got ‘emBut there's a spiraling staircase that you're falling downAnd you're nothing but dead at the bottomDNA, you're in my heartDNA, in fact you're in every part of my bodyEach cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomesAnd DNA, baby, that spells DNA
