Mmmm yeah.
Mmmm yeah.


People thought all animals
Arrived here unrelated
The world began, and then came man

All perfectly created

But then someone looked up a tree.

And said "That monkey looks just like me!"
So it really was a mystery
What I'd learned in natural history!


So I joined HSM Beagle
Watched the eagle and the seagull

We studied rocks and plants
Flowers, trees and bees and ants


Slept on hammocks without pillows
Eating rats and armadillos
Till I realised on reflec-tion

It's natural selection! Yeah!

Natural selection means

Each animal evolved
To blend with it's surroundings
Ch-ch-changes were involved


So birds with different, foods to seek.
Seemed have developed, different beaks.


And over time they'd,
Modified

So just the fittest
Of them all survived!


On the Isles of Galapagos
I noted the giant tortoise
Had interesting shells

And I rode on them as well

Iguanas land and swimming

Meant my new theory was winning
It all led in the direction
Of natural selection.


My findings went with outrage
From the ch-ch-ch-ch-church of England

And from me.

The idea that we came from ch-ch-chimps

Questioned my own Christianity
But it was hard to disagree!


Every species new mutation
Had a perfect explaination
It seems the world's inception

Must predate common perception

And if lack of adaptation

Miss a fatal limitation
So each creature's imperfection
Over time gets a correction


Meaning animal collections
Grow unique means of protection

And to fail nature's inspection
Means immediate rejection
Which all leads to the detec-tion

Of natural selection!
Natural selection!
