Natural Selection (Charles Darwin)

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 rock 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 without rage
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 exception
Must be date con and 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 a media projection
Which all leads to the detec-tion
Of natural selection
