A man named Darwin – had a revelation He said all life evolved from the confusion He had a theory. He made some people nervous When he came to the… embarrasing conclusion
We come from monkeys. We’re not so special. We’ve only got…a little extra DNA The chimpanzees…are very close to us Australopithecus? He’s not so far away
[Chorus] We come from monkeys, swingin in the trees A little bit of monkey inside you and me Monkey in the middle monkey on your back It’s a fundamental problem but a scientific fact We come from monkeys
The feeble minded… said creation was the answer They got upset…their nose got outta joint They say we’re missing…the monkey in the middle They’re picking nits…it kinda proves the point
You’re not so hairy. You haven’t got a tail You’re not adapted – for living in a tree But if you care – to count up all your chromosomes You’re ninety eight point four percent a chimpanzee
[Chorus]
Double helix monkey bars, feel the primal beat Six million years we been walkin’ on our feet A barrel full of monkeys, swingin’ from the family tree…
We don’t wanna start a social revolution we just wanna talk about some monkey evolution But the knuckle-draggin’ stool-flingin’ fools just don’t wanna see We come from monkeys…
If you can’t handle…the thought of evolution You might just call it…intelligent design But if the universe…keeps on evolving Then maybe you should just evolve a bigger mind [Chorus]
Monkey see – Monkey do – Monkey see – Monkey do – Monkey see, monkey do, Monkey me, monkey you, let’s all face it it’s all true we come from monkeys
